Nice work. Simple but elegant. Congratulations.

Makes me want to try some micas.

Did you use hand cut resist, or photo resist?

Thanks All,
I have had a great time experimenting in my little glass dungeon that doubles as a garage. Micas are lots of fun and you can't get that kind of detail using a saw.

Steve & Ron, If you didnt know; I have been a big fan of your work for awhile now.

Ron, I have came a long way since I met up with you last spring. If you ever want to team up on a piece let me know, I've got the kiln space.

Steve, No I usually use masking tape or contact paper. It is a little more challenging, but requires less perp time.

Nanc, There are as many nests as there are species of birds. How is you work progressing since the last time we worked together?

Good work! An inspiring piece.

Is it all mica? Three shades or is the red/blue the same mica but different reflection? I love the stencil work.

Yes Jim,
They are all micas.
Silver, Purple and blue all applied at one time and fired.
Thanks for the feedback

Are the moon and the Halo around the wolf both the same silver, and if so how did you achieve the perfect disc on the moon?
