Latest pics of one of my recent Great Dane lamps.

The final layer on this one uses an old dictionary. The paper is of better quality than newspaper but still thin enough to be easy to use on sculptures.

I recently bought a lifetime's supply of glass cabochons and have started painting the backs of them, for eyes.
