Really quite stunning! Great job- and smart to make two!

Gorgeous work, Bruce- talk about inspirations!!!!

Sweet! (but not the black ones!)

several questions, if you please:
is size put on then powders applied?
or
is size mixed with the powders, then applied?
or do you use one-shot clear as the vehicle?

How do you gild over the back of the mica? Oil or water size????
Thanks!

Not being at all familiar with acid- do you soak the glass exposing sections at a time to the "darkest" is done first and is in longest?

VERY eye-catching!

VERY eye-catching!

what does it say about my perceptions that she moves counter clock wise????

Thanks for the heads-up, Mike! Great site that I have used often...

Great shots! Thanks for posting them!

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

I have one of the Chris Pye videos and it's superb- well worth the effort-

VERY sweet! You do awfully nice work!

Absolutely amazing!! And great step-by as well- thanks!

I found out in Pontiac just how lacking my brush skills were, so when I came home I decided to get in some serious practice. This sign does nicely- from a distance... Tim Barker from the UK is the designer- pattern was traced on- no masks, 4' x 8' with 1-shot:

Very cool idea- good for you!
Another thought though- how long does the paint mix have to dry before you can paint on the florishes???

Kinda hurts my mind first thing in the mornig- but what a fun thing to "play" with!!!!

Oh, yeah! This is great stuff to see!!! :o

Certainly a project of Titanic proportions!!!! :lol:

I have (and have used) his books- really good stuff, well explained. Thanks for pointing out the web site! :D

I REALLY appreciate your step-by-step shots and the effort this sharing entails! Many thanks!
Cat :D

This is one of 2 frames of glass work that will be on display in my area of the Columbia County Fair where I'll be demonstrating wood carving and educating folks on carving and signs- fun times! :lol:

WOW! What a gorgious job in a gorious place! Thanks for the tour as well! :D

That's certainly some sweeeeet stuff! Love the colors and shades!

SWEET job, looks and works a treat! :o

Excellant! I presume she also now qualifies for full "walldog" status as well! :lol:

Congratulations on your priviledged appointment, Sarah! I was lucky enough to get one "factory-direct"- they certainly work a treat!!!

Nice stuff, Joe- thanks! :D

It's one thing to do nice work at a workshop where the instructor is watching out for mis-steps, and quite another to try it at home, on your own! But that's how you learn... (again, the orange is just the backdrop for the photo)

NICE photos- thanks!
