New paintings and regular art updates.
The collection looked lovely in the sunshine today. There was enough light to illuminate them without them causing any damage (if you are not careful they can act as magnifying glasses. I love these. All sorts of patterns and shapes.

Night!
Like a water world with tiny golden islands on an ultramarine sea.
I have a few paperweights but this is my favourite. I look into it and am enchanted by how they managed to embed gold leaf into it. They must have gathered the blue glass and rippled on the black layer, then put gold leaf on and blown into the glass to make it split up or maybe just let loose gold leaf fall onto it? Then gathered (added a layer) of clear glass on top.
I’m only guessing about the technique but however it was done, it’s beautiful.
