Kudos to you.<br /><br />For some reason I have been thinking a lot over the last 9 months about sea creatures and plants, so this is inspiring. I would like to do a series of sea life, on glass. (Although I think I will take down the scale a notch!) And about Mark's glass -- OMG!! I knew that the glass of window panes in old buildings in Europe is often much thicker at the bottom than at the top because of the glass "drooping" down over time, but I thought that took centuries to happen. I never dreamed that a piece of glass could bend in my studio in a year.Annabel Armstrongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565391737422896914.post-13630297896799568952013-04-29T17:02:13.476-07:002013-04-29T17:02:13.476-07:00Hi Marie- yes the etching is done through the met...Hi Marie- yes the etching is done through the metal leaf with a stylus, then back-painted.Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565391737422896914.post-76759012367985077852013-04-29T16:54:24.632-07:002013-04-29T16:54:24.632-07:00like totally! thanks, Lisa!like totally! thanks, Lisa!Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565391737422896914.post-38318197679860019182013-04-29T16:53:58.594-07:002013-04-29T16:53:58.594-07:00oh wow Mark, hard to imaging glass bending like th...oh wow Mark, hard to imaging glass bending like that but it is a liquid after all! This piece is 3/8" thick (more with the paint) and weighs over 180 lbs, so I bought a drywall cart to help in maneuvering it. I was also able to work on the cart sitting upright, and wheel the piece around to see the results. It turned out to be a great tool.

(I really like the gold leaf for the tentacle suckers.) I etched — sandblasted — designs on glass for years, but never attempted the reverse painting or gilding. Interesting to see your heavy-duty professional stand. I leaned a piece of glass against my studio wall for an extended time (more than a year) and it became bowed and unusable, a lesson learned . . .Mark D.
