I have made this

Carol · October 08, 2011, 07:58:51 PM

I made this one quite a long time ago, an antique clear hollow with triton (I think) stringer. I've also not used antique clear for ages, not sure why as it's lovely glass.

Still love your snow queen Sabine

Here's a lentil made with Antique clear over silver foil. Not sure quite what happened to the silver foil as it went kind of opaque under the encasement. Maybe I got it too hot. Never mind, it's quite pretty anyway...

I always get that reaction with silver foils under transparent greens.
