Here is my panel from Richard Bustamante. It has gold, abalone, and some other neat stuff and it looks great! Im very pleased. Here it is... Had to edit to tell Richard to maybe explain the processes he used in this project.

I don't know! I screenprinted that damn thing about 10 times. I must have spent a gazillion hours on it, and retail must be about five- thousand dollars. I don't know what happened to me, I just kept going...and going...etc. etc.
Now for a little history on the panel. Yes! It does have a history. You, are all gonna think I'm lying, that particular piece of glass was from Rick Glawson's shop, one of three 12"X 18" pieces I used for the Convlave Meet two years ago. I had designed a glass piece for the meet and this was the border and corner I printed at Rick's shop. (the very first print)
Panel in progress:
I essentually went into the shop, and picked up a little of everything; 23kt. mirror gold, 12K matt gold, red variagated, pearlescent one-shot, silver leaf, and abalone(New Zealand pow wa)...
I leafed it, screenprinted it, pinstriped it, lettered it, over-layed it, I mirrored it...I painted it...

That's a very cool panel, Richard. Just out of curiousity, what types of precautions are there in sending a glass panel from California to Kentucky without it breaking?
Also, I've never used pearlescent 1 shot. Anything special needed to know about using it? (other than what I see on their website)?
Thanks, nice work.
