narrative
for this piece, i am using 4 shades of orsoni 24kt mosaic gold.

on the left of the gold are the polished black onyx beads that i am using: on the top are faceted beads which i am using to finish the edges of the vase, and on the bottom rectangular beads, which you can see on the vase as the thicker black outlines.

to the right of the gold is bisazza black vitreous glass, which i will use on the inside of the vase to end the gold.

beneath the gold is black contorno - very thin wafers of black smalti-type material. i cut each wafer into 8 thin strips, which you can see on the vase as the thinnest black lines.
