Topic: Lizard weight

[glasstrufflehunter]

Those simpler millefiori weights that John Deacons produces help pay for the time he spends on the really special weights. And he is making some really fabulous ones. I have not a few of the bread and butter weights but I also have a couple really special ones. He's a very fine artist that I have come to appreciate more in the last couple of years.

I have to confess that all this talk of John Deacons is making me want one of his weights...and I don't even collect paperweights!  One will have to go on the 'Want One of Those' list now.

Max,
This could get expensive.  Do not look at 190114874375 or at 320116631108 by using the ebay search tabs at the top of the page.  You have been warned   

[David E]

Hmm, not all that expensive!

Don't look Max!

[Max]

Hmm...although I to Mr Deacons, those particular two don't inspire me...I want something that moves me, something that causes me to burst into song and brings joy to my cerebellum. 

I'll keep looking.  Sooner or later a paperweight, maybe a Deacons one,  is going to totally ding my bell, and that'll be it.  I'll actually buy an expensive one.

Well Max, if you want a really really nice lizard, how about this one

[David E]

Oh, and have you told OH about the new shelf he's got to put up in the shed?

[Frank]

Hmmm, probably excellent going by the name but such a tiny picture really devalues it. Anyway Max it is NOT Scottish

[josordoni]

Oh..... has it got to be Scottish??

I didn't realise that....

[Max]

$1500?!  Good grief!  (or as they say in Scotland 'Good Crieff!')   That is a lovely weight, and the lizard is superb!  There's too much choice in paperweights.  For a novice collector, it's hard to know where to start.  I do hanker after a lizard (as Kev knows) though.
