Title: I'm experimenting....
Post by: Zeldazog on April 13, 2011, 07:39:04 PM
The technique I've used before, but not applied colour... need to tweek the firing schedules a bit as it's 'flattening' the texture a bit too much for my liking, but otherwise, I am quite pleased with the way it's going...

Dawn, the idea you gave me was to use a simple stained glass cartoon and have your grooves follow the lead lines. Then use the enamels in the colours of the original stained glass panel to highlight the grooves. Did you pipe whiting mixed with water and an icing tool to make the pattern of the grooves? Did you follow my reasoning? Here's one such design taken from the Glasseye 2000 album, see www.dfly.com

Here's a whiting experiment I did years ago.
