So today I will work on some requested long stem roses as well as continue working on the cloud pattern.  Not sure on the patterns but some challenges with using talc from last time that I am going to try and avoid will be 1. Use gloves:  my hands were burning due to the proximity to the piece.  2. Use tools:  this was kinda stupid on my behalf but i did grab the talc with my bare hands and threw it at my piece.  Not advisable something about the powder super heating in my hand and under my fingernails that make this a less than desirable approach.  Also a suggestion has been brought forth on making indentations in the glass where the powder will  layer to maximize the color depth.  Another approach I may consider is a variation of the throwing color and see maybe about layering powder on shards.  The goal is to have a clod look to in terms of colors and depth.  If you have requests for long stem roses for your sweet ladies/gentlemen in your life let me know.  You can pick the color.
