Default Suitable modelling cement or similar.

Hi all. Maybe not strictly DIY but you've been helpful in here before.

I have a few pieces of coloured glass in approx 1" chunks and also
some attractive pebbles collected from a beach by my children when
they were very young.

For sentimental reasons I would like to set them into some kind of
putty or cement in order to make a couple of paperweights.
Maybe simply pushing them into a lump of some fixant.
I'm visualising summat like Superman's glass home on Krypton but about
the size of a tennis ball :-)

Grateful for any advice on what cement I could set them into and maybe
a link to a vendor?

For stained glass work the stuff is called "Leaded Light Cement" (ebay
search). It's a Black Linseedy oil type putty and hideously expensive
at about £9 a tub (bought some last week) but it does the job.
