Thank you, ladies. This one was an experiment for me. I explained to my friend, who asked me to do this box, that there are things glass won't do--you can't usually "cut out" a piece in the middle of a sheet of glass. (It can be done, but it requires endless patience and lots and lots of practice on scrap glass before you'd want to risk the "real" glass.) So features on people -- or animals, for that matter -- require that you add cut lines. Betty Boop is one of those characters that would suffer from any extra lines in her face. I decided to see if her eyebrows and lashes could be fused in a kiln instead of cut. I could have painted them on, but I thought that would detract from the look I wanted to create. (I did paint those features on the inside of the box--couldn't fuse on both sides of the glass.) The other difficulty with this box was that the intricate cuts to accomodate her curls had to be done with a glass saw and had to be very precise. I didn't manage that as well as I'd hoped, but I still think the box turned out really well. totalfolly |

You have answered my Q's there TF, because I was looking at the details and wondering just how you managed it ! I showed Nick and he loves it too. I think all your work is awesome as you know, but this one is my favourite so far ! (I say that with every new piece you make)  I think you managed her curls just fine TF, no worries there ! I really want it !!! Been looking at glass myself this morning, lamp work focal beads for my necklaces, oooo theres some beauties out there

Thanks again, y'all.  Been looking at glass myself this morning, lamp work focal beads for my necklaces, oooo theres some beauties out there
Yes, I love lampworking--I did a workshop over the summer in lampworking, but just don't have the space for it in my house and trying to find space to rent is expensive.  So when are we going to see some pix of your jewelry, CP? totalfolly |

Thank you, CP! I can't seem to capture the sparkly look in the photos, and of course the window screen is in the background, but it's lovely with the light shining thru it! totalfolly |

Thank you, ladies! I finished another very large panel last week that has been waiting at the glass studio to be framed. I hope I'll be able to bring it home tomorrow. totalfolly |

... and I did. This is adapted from one of my daughter's recital photos, from back when she was dancing. The colors don't show quite as well in the pic as I'd hoped--her dress is lavender (with darker purple representing folds and shadows), and most of the clear glass is iridized, so it has sort of a subtle rainbow of colors.
