Thanks again

Re: GoldLeaf Workshop England
I'm kind of late coming into this thread but will add my "ohhs" and "ahas" to your fantastic glass piece. You've set the bar far out of reach for the rest of us, but we still enjoy seeing your work immensely.
To know how to combine such intricate detail and fine colors together and still have it all readable is a great gift. You are one of a kind for sure.
Ok...let's see what you have up your sleeve for the next project.

Sir David, another absolutely Dy-No-Mite piece of stunning glasswork. I agree with Larry, you're certain to be in the history books. Thanks for sharing -

Re: GoldLeaf Workshop England
Yeah....very nice indeed. As several others have noted...it's a bit plain. a bit more decoration would lift it. hahaha
Seriously though, when I see work like this, I always marvel at how you came up with some of the forms in it. The scroll shapes and the way they relate to each other. The way they relate to the letter itself, and of course, the form of the shading underneath those fine scrolls.
Sure, it's over the top, but taking a studious observation of the design in this piece leaves me with admiration for the mastery in it....Inspirational.
