I saw that article. We have our own collection of miniscus lenses. We used the dollar store variety also, inspired by your article. I hunted and hunted and could only find plastic lenses. I was hoping for something gooey and wonderful like your students made, but ours were quite a bit more gooey than what we wanted. I did make one today out of a glass lens that I found at home recently. I shot a portrait with the 11x14 using a paper negative. It gives interesting results, but I think I want something a tad better.
