2 for 1-Handbags & Baggage-Fused Glass Paperweight

As I was doodling in my sketchpad/diary, I kept drawing bags and purses.......it wasn't just that I'm a woman and covet the latest designer handbag...something was trying to be expressed here....ok, inner self what are you trying to say..."baggage"...you know, the kind we all have aka skeletons and "in a previous life, I..."! That was my design...AHA ...moment....

So, how could I bring my idea to fruition....a one of a kind handbag that women will covet with another layer of meaning....hey, we all got baggage and that's ok! Cheeky I know...but we all need to have a little "fun attitude"!

Drum roll please and thank you...tada.....a darling fused glass one of a kind "designer handbag" paperweight that has been blinged out with swarovski crystals (and yes I used sterling silver wire...this is a designer handbag after all!).

This blinged out handbag will cause other women to stop by your desk and drool.....I want sparkles on my desk too....and only you will know what "baggage" your carrying until you decide to "share"! ;)

The paperweight measures ~ 2 1/4 inches at its widest point and is 2 1/2 inches tall. The fused glass handbag paperweight measures ~45 grams.

Stylish, one of a kind bling for your desk at the office or home! I would love to hear what you think of my 2 for 1 design idea.....leave a comment!

Stay tuned, I'll post a tutorial later on to share how I made this fused glass "coveted handbag" that will never reveal your "secret baggage"! ;)
