[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9561431, member: 79705"]Thank you for preparing this for us! I haven't seen as much research into them and some (as imgs 4 and 5) are really beautifully done examples. I knew mine was glass, but I hadn't seen her mold before and really enjoyed her interesting frame and composition. [ATTACH=full]457526[/ATTACH] Her wheat is painted silver, her veil and jewelry are painted gold and her hair is a gloss contrasting her matte skin. Her veil is actually chipped, which confirmed my suspicions on her material. She is glued to her background, which is very mirror shiny. [ATTACH=full]457527[/ATTACH] I had thought she was maybe mounted to something other than glass, as the back is open and texture quite grainy, but it may just be glass after all? [ATTACH=full]457528[/ATTACH] Here you can see the separation between the layers, and the glue. Also including the all-black version of the cameo Simona posted: [ATTACH=full]457529[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
