It's one of those that just takes months to do but in the end it was worth the effort. I'll never make this again. There were so many steps to make this and then to finish it. Maybe 100 hours. Just guessing. Here are some of the finishing steps. It worked. The fourth coat of Shimmer glaze did just leave it black but it did all more glitter. I used pin striping paint for the gold accents. I glued on jewels so that Jeannie would be happy with this new home. In 1958 my mother made a Halloween outfit for me. I still had the thread and was able to use it for this project. It brought back memories of my mom who could do absolutely anything. She could shake shingle a roof or paint a beautiful scene in oils. Anything. I took apart an Eisenberg earing and use the stone on the top of the bottle cap. The big diamond I bought elsewhere. I painted the little bottle. I glazed Jeannie with 3 layers of color and four layers for her skin. All Duncan CN glazes. They do not move when fired and gloss over. It wasn't easy getting the scarf to drape just right but after a few sticks of the needle I got it to work out. Done at last and ready to be boxed and shipped to Florida.
