I've been recently trying to keep the paperweights a bit bigger as the normal size which has allowed me to fit two lizards on a paperweight :) Maybe an extra lizard will try to sneak on a future paperweight! These little guys are on Etsy.
I stopped by Home Depot recently and I found alder and poplar strips that I thought would look great glued together. The wood is finished with some natural danish oil and it really makes the alder pop! The paperweight is 1.25in diameter :)
I've been having a lot of fun making paperweights and wooden stands lately. The darker stands were made by my dad, however I will be picking up some darker stain later today :) I have a bunch of paperweights that are just waiting for the stands, so once those are done I will make another entry with those :)
