Wow, these are really beautiful! The paperweights are stunning and I must say you did a nice job on the fluting of your vase:)

We used to live in Vancouver, Canada, and in this touristy area was a professional glass blower; the place had a huge viewing area and I was continually mesmerized by the magic he created. I've never thought of giving it a try, but after your post, it's something I'm going to look into :)
