Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Post by erik winkler »

I realized that I did not make simple glaspanels yet.
Therefore no big designskills or timeconsuming procedures.
Glue chipping, mica etching, silvering, 23,75 gilding and paint.
There are two of them.

Nice Erik...clean and bold. Looks good against the black background.

Was this for a customer, or just a personal project?

Are you screen printing the brightlines, or painting them by hand?

On to the next one!

-Aho!

I made this for myself, it is all part of the goal to make as much samples, of different color and technique combinations, as possible. Still have a few hundred to make :?

This panel was not screenprinted.
I do not know that "Whitey SIGN CO." sign.
The 'design' was self made, using a LHF font.
