[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 838132, member: 8184"]I'm going to agree on materials, but disagree on method. I think the painting is all on the glass - from the black opaque bits, to the transparent colored bits - and there is a piece of plain crumpled foil behind. Eye candy and info here: [URL]https://folkartmuseum.org/exhibitions/foiled-tinsel-painting-in-america/[/URL] This site also suggests these may be considerably older than the 1920s, but I have no idea if they are right or wrong. [I]"'Foiled: Tinsel Painting in America is the most comprehensive museum exhibition to focus on this under-recognized decorative art that was widely practiced in America from 1850 to 1890."[/I][/QUOTE]
