are you selling the small ball of glass? I collect these and I'll purchase. Alice H.
Hello Alice, Thanks for the encouraging words. Paper weights are easy to make. I made them in my first class. After that moved to tumbler, then bowl and am not at pitchers. Will send photos soon.
I do not work at blenko. I am not even in the same state as blenko. I make glass as a hobby. I go to a studio at penn state and practice there. I am relatively new to it.
I dont sell these, but can definitely make some pieces for you once I get good. Just let me know what shape you like, and the colors.
