The above Turtle Dish was my second glass painting project. The first was the Cloisonné poppy tray that was painted with a toothpick after engraving the glass. 

The turtle dish consists of 2 layers of glass. The top layer was primed with acrylic paint and after drying, coats of blended acrylic paints were applied with sponges of various sizes. The 2 pieces were fused to form a slab and fuse the paint. The next step was to print the turtle on the glass using enamel paint, then back into the kiln to mature the paint and slump the piece to the dish.

More pieces using this technique are scheduled.
