(time intensive and many kiln visits)<br />she is stained on mouth blown antique glass.<br /><br />Her face isn't blemished...she has a celestial glow and emerald green eyes...with plum and gold shadow...then the gold flecks over her face as well...<br />It is kind of hard to see without the sun coming through and actually catching the glass from behind and allowing the piece to glow as it should...<br /><br />This is an example of another panel...<br /><br />Thank you for stopping in.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1245662290784609466-6517087724865495819?l=maryshunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01461052958724348120mshemeral@midstatesd.net8
