This is my hand - it is a glass paperweight made at the Dartington Glass Factory. We did a tour of the factory and they were demonstrating the glass being fired and making models in sand. I of course volunteered to have my hand made (why I ask myself!!) and this heavy glass paperweight has sat on the side ever since. When I saw todays topic - what else could I do? It came in useful at last!! LOL!!
I am going on holiday tomorrow to North Devon and I am not sure if i will have internet access - even the phone signals are bad down there!! I will take my shot each day and upload when i get home. I will miss you all if i can't access even on my iphone. Fingers crossed I get some dry weather. I am hoping to set some sunsets!!
