Enamels on glass

 A very good FB friend and fellow artist, Evelyn Baker, was kind enough to share some samples of Thompson enamels.  I did some simple tests first...sifting some dry and then the same colors mixed with medium.  I love the way they fire; very glossy and look like the glass.  I don't like paints that fire opaquely and matte.  If i'm doing glass, i want it to look like glass!  Lol.  So yesterday i decided to do a sifted piece with roses since i loved the pinks.  This is simply sifted dry enamels fused to 1400 degrees.  Maybe later I'll slump it into a shallow bowl or plate.
