Jenni I still get excited by your matching of glass and brooches. It’s so clever and appealing.
Cristal d’Arques made some lovely crystal and these paperweights are good! I love the ibex brooch, a sparkler, and it’s so beautifully modelled.
Gosh- these are so BEAUTIFUL! That brooch is gorgeous- Capricorns are a common theme in my family with my cousin, aunt and granddad all being Capricorns- the Ibex is wonderfully detailed too, especially his horns
The brooch is quite the eye catcher and the paperweight is beautiful.
I agree, a very clever way to display your pieces, Jenni. The goat reminds me of the RAM car hood ornament which I have collected also. Beautiful is the word on the street for these treasures !~
Thank you everybody for the love

Karen thanks ever so much what a lovely compliment, I really enjoy doing the combo pieces and try to get a compatible duo like this one, and it's always nice to do it for a zodiac sign. Yes Cristal d'Arques always made such pretty things esp animals, the etching on this mountain goat gives it a softer, sweet face I think. The ibex brooch was a lucky auction find, it was the best mountain goat symbol I saw, very realistic look
Thank you Ken for the fantastic compliment I love the brooch too, his green eye looks as if he is staring right at you! Gem-Craft had really good designers, only have a few figurals of theirs but all are well made
Thanks Lauren for the wonderful compliments and a very happy BD to all your Capricorn relatives! One thing about Capricorn folks is their very witty dry sense of humor, I had a favorite Capricorn uncle who always made me smile with his funny remarks, boy do I miss him. These are good mountain goat examples I think, great detail and the brooch is quite alive looking
Thank you MrsT for the great compliments I am so glad you enjoyed this duo, one thing I love about the paperweight is that the jagged edging looks like an ice floe, then you see that pale mountain goat face it's very serene.
Hi Phil & very grateful for the super prais, I got in the habit of putting a couple of like subjects together and I still get very excited when I visualize a brooch that would look perfect with one of my glass pieces, but I try not to overdo it and am always delighted whenever you guys like my throw togethers :) I adore your beautiful hood ornaments & yes could see the ibex brooch on a RAM vehicle, he certainly looks like he wants to lead the way !
Thanks Mary for the thoughtful love and support, I really appreciate it you are always so kind to me :)
Aw thanks Mary, love your super stuff too & always look forward to your posts
XOXO
