[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 688044, member: 5833"]I feel like a teacher happily marking quiz papers & giving everyone an A. For this one, the color says artificial; the soft lines say molded; the suggestion of translucence & those little curved nibbles at the edge say glass. Agree, hardstone. Subject is one very common on hardstone cameos; color within the typical palette. As Jivvy pointed out, the presence of what I refer to as an aura in places. For me, more than anything, this area of lace: [ATTACH=full]186068[/ATTACH] You can't do that with resin or with glass if the figure is a separate piece from the base. You could using pate sur pate, but you wouldn't want to build up the thickest areas with that technique. Hardstone. She'll look splendid, after a serious scrubbing.[/QUOTE]
