okay well it has been so long!! I reversed the top and bottom imagethe line image is the shade after it has been fired from the matte step and I am now ready to begin adding color
i know it has been forever!
getting to know the new camera has been a challenge for me
that coupled with the Internet issues here in Texas
i have suffered quite the patience curve
we bought a booster antenna and that has helped
some
the color palette is fairly limited that i work withthese low firing paints are extremely expensive
so i chose colors that could be mixed and thus i have a fair palette to work with....
these were the colors i used
the green, pink, orange, white, red and blue
all mix well with squeegee oil that makes a paint like elixir
fired onto the crystal
and you get the top picturenot this one
the painted side fired and ready to look at through the other side!
well I have since finished the lamp
so look for that blog post
i learned that with a slow connection
a person MUST change the size on their pictures
i am spoiled, apparently, in SD to high speed internet
I didn't know
but I have missed y'all and hope you have a good new beginning to another year
:)

Texas??? I thought you were in South Dakota, Mary! What's with the change of scenery?
I came to see the finished product (above) and noticed I had missed a post. It's great to see the process and, as always, you share so much information. I like how you showed you mix these expensive paints. The word "elixir" conjured up all kinds of lovely images, too.
