Flowers in a round 2

This is '2', because the original work I did is here.

I re-worked this piece a little, and then sealed the work in Mod Podge. I think it looks better, but, maybe only I see the difference :(

I re-did the yellow flowers and the blue flower-thingies!

A lantern for Lita

I have been meaning to do this for a long time, and yesterday, I felt was the right time to just do it.

I can practise a stroke with confidence, and execute petals and leaves without a thought - but when it comes to doing something for someone, my hands will shake, I'll lose my confidence, and I'll be just stupid.

Yesterday was no different. I did the first flower, and I decided it looked so horrid, I had to wipe it off. Believe me, when you're working with Enamels, it's not as easy as just writing those words.

So, after scrubbing and polishing with a cotton towel, I told myself that if it looked like hell, I could 'clean' it off all over again. Ahhh, such fun to look forward to.

I ponced the metal bits earlier, with a combination of red and green - which results in a sorta all-over-brown, with green bits, and red bits, here and there. Nice.

Then, it was time for the glass work:

Painting on glass

I dared myself to stop with the practising and to actually paint something... and this is it:

... fresh out of the oven, the set-of-three tealights, the one big one, and a flower pot:

With the lights out, and lighted :)

A wise man told me that I should be happy with my work, and accept compliments graciously. This time, I can say that I am happy :)
