[quote="Brock Do you think I could do them in frit? How would you portray the rain on the cobblestones? [/quote]
Sure. Glad to help.
1. Take a graduated handful of short blue grey streamers. Stand at the top of your near-finished masterpiece. Throw them towards the foot of the piece.
2. Carefully adjust with tweezers any that have landed on the glass with their longitudinal axes in a non-vertical (or maybe a slight angle to depict wind-driven rain) orientation.
3. Make out a royalty check for each iteration of this technique, payable to Simon care of Ripoff De Verre.

No, no, I meant the appearance of the rain on the cobblestones. The slickness, the sheen. Maybe I should just wipe them with Martin? Brock

My 2 cents..
From what I know of the old masters, they studied with the masters of their time and then the skills they learned influenced their work. I don't recall a painter studying sculpting techniques, but if he wanted to paint a body, he studied with someone who was good at that technique in painting or practiced away.
So, I think my point would be to take advantage of the classes we have with our fusing masters and let that influence our style and move us to push boundaries.
