sledger, you are correct. it's that outer border effect that i'd like to be able to produce again. i haven't seen anything that really comes close enough, but thanks to all of you for your help! gosh, this is frustrating... it's like trader joe's taking away some fabulous food that they had been selling for years.

and sledger, thank you for your kind words about my glass work - i appreciate it!
