Glorious glass

Post by Catharine C. Kennedy »

Bobbie Rackow sent these to me last night, and my photos don't come close to doing these justice- they are truly magnificent pieces! She's been going full speed ahead after taking the Studden-Webber course at Boise and there are lots of "firsts" in these... Well done, Kid![img

Well done Bobbie. The cat looks good in black. :)
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Thank you Kelly, the cat is actually brown, the chipping was done in mica powders, my first experiment with them, & a gem in the center of the C.

The perfume words were done in 23 K, the florishes around the cameo in 12 k. Danny acid etched the perfume letters for me, then sent me the glass to finish. He did a very nice job of it!

I am so glad you like them Cat!

I used a sponge on the background Roderick. I still need some practice at it, & more Smith's Cream with it too, I think I tried to cover too much area all at once & it was setting up on me fast. I guess the next time I will try my airbrush. I haven't tried that on glass yet. So many things to try!

Thank you.
