    Wow!Gil, you are getting really good! I love this piece- will it be a brooch or hang in a window?

    It's nice !

    I imagined that it was not possible to make plique a jour with the torch. I thought that it would be necessary to use a sheet of mica.

    Now, I see it's possible ... that's a very good news. Thanks ...

    hi rudolf the torchfired method does not have a backing at all its wet packed into cells and then heated with torch very gradually ,, tricky and bizarre
