Project Description: Last night I dreamed of Murano and of paperweights...
"Murano Fantasy" is an tribute to glassmakers who, since Antiquity, have been producing murrines. Murrines are assembled into paperweights, with different layouts. The central cane, when present, is often sophisticated, and the paperweight might be signed by the artist.
As with real murrines, a part of the pleasure is to use a magnifying glass: press 'n' (next) or space to automatically focus on noteworthy canes; use 'p' (previous) to go back to previous cane; 'c' (clear) to reset zoom; and click wherever you wish.
