Hi Kathy~

Yes, nine layers of clear would be GINORMUS, wouldn't it!?! I think that a compromise is a great thought - that putting clear on the petals only, and allowing them to "sink" (melt) in should work pretty well.

I'm going to go PM Michelle (bousky here on LE) and BEG her to come join us here and give us some tips - check out the beauties in Post #15 on this thread:

Maybe she would be kind enough to share some of her skills with us - aren't these amazing!?!

TO BE CONTINUED....

EDIT: Also "inviting" Cynthia's input - she's glassactcc here on LE and also does wonderful florals!!! Par-teeeeee!!!!!!
