I made this on the first day of class this session, sort of as a warm up. I generally like to use the ‘hodgepodge’ frit, the frit that’s left over from other frits, or that’s been mixed in. I can’t say it’s my best paperweight. I like them to be rounder, not so pointed. Also, I would rather have more glass between the color and the outside.
You’d think paperweights were as useful as preschool ash trays, but I actually use my paperweights when photographing my pieces. I have a big roll of paper I use as a backdrop, and the paperweights keep it from slipping off the table.
