Title: My new weight
Post by: Derek on February 21, 2013, 08:52:40 PM

Hi all

Ian and Nick have been posting recent acquisitions so I thought I would add one of mine.

I was lucky enough to spend some time last week with John Deacons - 6" snow in Crieff which
made getting to the studio an adventure ! but it was worth it as I watched John and Craig make
this superb pompom swirl. Needless to say it has ended up in my collection.

What do you think of it?

Best regards

Derek

Hi Derek,

I really like Deacons' pompom swirl weights.

So well done!!!

Hi Nick

There is only one problem - once you have seen a weight being made you HAVE to
have that selfsame one !

There is something about watching a gather from a pot of molten glass being
fashioned before your eyes. Better still is having a go yourself!

Best regards

Derek

That's beautiful, I love the colour combination and the neatness of it.
