This is not my first attempt at reverse glasswork, but my first unsupervised.
We have 4 children, & each gets one for Christmas.
I used a different leaf on each piece .... 12k gold, 13.25k gold, palladium & aluminum. The photos show the 13.25k & the aluminum leaf. All are over Damar varnish for the texture .
This process requires patience, for sure ....
