Shard Art

Shard art is a painting technique developed by the artist Betz. Shard means broken pieces or fragments. She uses this broken colored glass, also called frit, to achieve a desired effect from light refraction on her painting. The frit comes in sizes from coarse to fine and has many colors to provide a wide range of possibilities. However, this method is dangerous, and one should use caution in not only painting with it, but also touching it afterwards.
It will cut the hand that strokes it...
