Wow OMG the roses are incredibly beautiful, but I have yet to see any of your amazing art that isn't beautiful.

Thank you so much OMG, I can't to reach your level but you and your results are my stimulus to improve my own experiments.
The closest to lacquer effect I could get (see post) However about black glass I get fail after fail.

Issabella, I think your roses are lovely.

Thank you so much OMG, I only wanted you to see my results so far in my aim of glass and lacquer effect and if you as an expert could give me your opinion. I have some difficulties when following exact commands in English Language to get effects.

Issabella - OK, I understand now. Experiments are always learning exercises, so here are some more using multiple overlays.

Firstly roses in various glass colours, then roses in metallic, wood and glass/wood combined

Thank you so much my friend. I'll practice it how you say. Beautiful roses in all kind of effects.

Spring gardening is a major activity right now so I thought I would share some photos I took this morning in my garden -
