Dear all,

Another recent catch....

Making use of depth in a single colour, the carver is able to highlight the frog sitting patiently on a well carved lotus leave.

Cheers,
YT

Dear YT,

     I forgot to suggest that you modify the Thread Title to read:

     Single Glass Overlay - Three Colour.  As it stands, the title could mislead.
Best,
Joey
