They both look fantastic, sadly photo's never do justice to the glass and the way light moves through it. The greens and blues of the "comet" are all beautifully textured and just the slightest change in light brings it to life. On the Ulster shield, the stunning translucent yellow makes the ruby water glass really stand out and the opaque white inner shield actually makes the red hand leap out as almost three dimensional. The black solder lines also beautifully emphasise the red cross.

Red Hand of Ulster
Thought I had better just pop these two pieces on; both finished and only need to package them up for transit.

More paint
Coat of arms almost finished, just in for the second firing. Only a few white lines and dots but they make a big difference and I didn't want to risk problems firing it with the black at the same time, it needs a crisp separation. Started another project whilst the kiln is clicking away, hopefully should have it cut tomorrow and then I can copper foil them both together.
