This is a little test plate for a larger plate I'll be doing for a customer. The center tree is punched from luster paper and each corner has a tree carved into the under side so it shows through the transparent red glass. I hope it shows in the picture!

Kev, the tree in the center is punched out of Carefree Luster Paper, a mica based luster pigment applied to a paper backing...works kind of like a slide decal. You can cut or punch out any shape, soak in water, apply it to the glass and fire.

Becki this is beautiful. I tried putting stars in the corner of a plate once, but I didn't have enough layers of paper for a good imprint. Your trees are perfect.

and a lot cleaner to work with than mica powder right? I'm trying some plates with mica powder right now - yuch, so messy! |

LOL! Glad you like it, LA, whether you understand the process or not!  Anne, it is definitely less messy than mica powder but, depending on your shapes, it can get a bit frustrating sliding them onto the glass and getting them straight! |
