NEW CHIPPED GLASS PIECE

Post by Bobbie Rochow »

I made this for a friend of mine, & my husband framed it for me. The glass measured 12" x 18". I had dried the glue near our woodburner, & used some of the silica beads. The chipping was pretty irregular. At the same time I had layed another one right under the wood burner & it dried & chipped by itslef & I got lost of ferns in it. It was given at Christmas to my father-in-law, but I will post when I go there & take the pic. Was in a hurry to wrap it & forgot!

This piece has 23 K gold on it & also 13 k. I reverse painted the colors with One Shot. There are a few imperfectins, but I am learning!

I have no idea what to charge for something like this, I need to do a search on past posts.

You're learning in leaps and bounds Bobbie. Good Job! Nice colours and detailing.
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.

Bobbie,
You created a truly beautiful piece!I really love the way the chipping looks alot like the gold scrolls when they are next to each other.
