I saw the horse but didn't realise it was on rock. It does look good framed. I think I'm going to display my kookaburra on something like a plate stand. It is about an inch thick on the bottom edge so it would need a fairly thick box frame to do the job properly. The sealer is a good idea though. I hadn't thought of that. I probably should seal the leaves too.

Did you notice in my gallery where I painted a horse head on 1/4 inch thick sliced rock? That was popular many years ago. I glued some swade type material to a thin board and placed that in the frame. I just glued the rock onto the board/material. It was done in oils so no glass. I had to spray something clear to seal the rock. After painting, I sprayed again. Ro

It would be interesting to know just how big that leaf is. Well done. Ro
