y. Even though I only changed little tiny things, I'm going to post the picture anyways. When I do script or something like it on glass, I have a technique. Rather than trying to free hand the script and take freaking forever, I do something that I learned from a random artist at the Renaissance Festival years ago. First, I print out the script so it's exactly the size I want it on the bulb. Then I cut it out and smear white pastel all over the backside. Then I tape it to the bulb, making sure it's straight. Then it's just a matter of taking a toothpick and running it over the script. When I take the paper off, then the image is on the bulb and I just paint over the pastel. Genious no? Muahaha! Yeah, so it's cheating, but I figure it's better to cheat on 
the script than cheat on the painting itself. People want the script to look nice!All I have left on this ornament is to add bits of green vine that appear on their wedding invitations and to cram some tulle into the bulb. It shouldn't take long at all except perhaps the fact that the picure I have of the invitations is way too small and I can't really see the leaves... I might have to fudge my way through it. It's a good thing I'm proficient at making stuff up.
