 | | Probably the most fun collecting style (and the style most people use when they start collecting) is I like it so I have it. | | | This collecting style provides a broad spectrum of weights in a single collection. | | | By the 1840s, a whole industry emerged in France that would transform the simple paperweight into a glorious work of art for every desktop. |

| | Glass Art Magazine - Art Glass Article Fusion of Brock Craig and Avery Anderson |
| | Paperweights were production items, unsigned by individual artists. | | | Individual artists were not factories; producing their art was very expensive so repetitive designs were purely an economic choice by artists and dealers. | | | Higher value was still placed on antique paperweights as modern artists struggled to create their own niche’. |

| | An Epilogue includes a scholarly discussion of the question of whether paperweights are considered an art or a craft, and a lively comparison of the artistic merits of paperweights compared to art glass. | | | Frances Miller, a longtime member and talented needlepoint artist, thoughtfully donated a paperweight theme piece of her work to PCA TX as a fundraiser. | | | It is rewarding that the exhibit of this collection will be extended for six months to be displayed in the Forsyth Center Galleries at Texas A&M University, where it will be seen and enjoyed by an estimated 15,000 of their visitors. |

| | While the art glass paperweight collecting market is matured, it should be looked upon as one that in many ways gave rise to the extensive artistic and technical achievement sought and accomplished by the finest artists working in spheres today. | | | All this has brought with it the embracing of the latest addition to both the marbles collecting community and art glass world—the explosion of artists and craftsmen working in studio glass settings. | | | Much of the appeal of the sphere to the art glass collector is in the viewers ability to pick up the piece, rotate it and look at all sides and aspects of the artists work. |

| | Throughout his ten year Navy, and twenty year engineering career Jim has always looked for ways to give free rein to his artistic side.From watercolors to furniture making, metal engraving to wood carving, he has relentlessly persued a medium that allowed him to be creative and to make a personal statement. | | | Even though the influence is marked from his love of the Old English, Jim is quickly creating his own style. | | | As his appreciation of finer paperweights grew, and his budget did not, he began to believe that perhaps he could actually make these jewels himself. |
