We used to label our drafting tools by applying scotch tape, which we hand-cut our initials into; then etched the exposed metal or plastic with a...
Since it looks like stone, not fired, but probably dipped in water hot enough to melt wax off. It could be etched, then color applied, I can't say...
This tjanting tool is what's used on batik textiles, it is metal to hold wax, so my idea for piping with a bag won't work with wax, but another...
The wax resists the glaze applied to the rest of the vessel - the wax just burns off, leaving the surface clean. It does look like alabaster or...
Fantastic!
How else would they apply a design over the entire surface like that? Or if it is new there may be some photographic/digital/transfer metbod,...

Weirdly matronly and futuristic at the same time... Engineered to within an inch of its life (not crafter) I pray someone will know :angelic:
I'm not a proper glassie, so I pass on most of what I see, but definitely appreciate :) Plus I get a kick out of seeing how easy it is for some -...
Don't laugh, @Any Jewelry but I wonder if Americans (?) simply avoid using the word "brooch" because - depending on who's saying it - it seems it...
Thanks for the info and sharing, @Lucille.b !
Which stones are inverted? My friend has excellent taste, if she does think so herself! It does drive me a little crazy when she says donated...
I did look today, partly to see if any were unsigned because I wondered if my friend's piece (below) is Schreiner... That's where I found this...
Someone mentioned in a description that Schreiner was known for using 2 secondary colors, which is what I think I like about this one - that...
I agree with the seller, that jelly clear crystal is gorgeous! But I think kard's has a lot more punch... How old do you think it is, @Lucille.b?
Maybe tourist, but I like it, @Josh
Obviously, I have come love it - I'm proud to say I wore it to my 40th high school reunion. Proud, bc some of the things Weir, Mary Belle and...
THANK YOU @kyratango! You are SOMEbody! What makes this one such a sleeper? Sarah Bernhardt doesn't look nearly as ecstatic as the pin lady!
