Title: Blue Glass?
Post by: PeteDavis on May 22, 2009, 08:33:57 am

I ran this sequence on PP last winter. Hopefully didn't run it here. Found the jar in the hollow, I call old jar bottoms Appalachian flint. First time I ever tried glass. The last image is unrelated, did it yesterday, for effect...the Wayne Newton effect!
