Art Under Glass....heavenly paperweights for you

Dont you think that anything at all, captured under glass seems to take on more of a dreamy air?! A bit like a treasure, I suppose. There it is, suspended for eternity safe and lovely. Paperweights have always been something to fancy in my book Ive always admired, collected, and even hand-made them. I love that sometimes the simplest image can become extraordinary when anchored under a heavy little slab of glass. A few of my favorite ideas for you to consider for your own little gems

* Sepia-tone photos

* Artwork or photos taken from magazine pages

* The backside of a vintage postcard stamps and all

* Artwork from children

* A love note, a poem, a sonnet from your sweet

* A loose page from a beautiful book

* Images from the covers of all those greeting cards you just cant part with I know you do this too!!

* An oversized monogram oh, I do love it!!

* Embellish the tops if youre feeling really inspired baubles, tattered trimmings, vintage jewelry
