If it is cut glass, probably a single spot playing on the item, which should
be on a matt black or dark blue fabric background.

The Most incredible Yellow Daisy festival;

got our old spot again, middle of "a" loop. great spot, approx 20'
frontage and 100 ft in back!! full electric.

we had the biggest two single days since we started doing shows (10 years)
and the single biggest take of any show.

30 big fish
50- fountains
100 wind chimes.
300 large gourd chickens

bout killed us both..near dead by Sunday night.

Hi,
There is a halogen bulb that some galleries use for their displays. It's
called a "Full-Spectrum, High intensity halogen Lamp". I use them for my
fused Dichroic pieces and they make everything "SHINE!" You can get them at
most display warehouses. I can't remember where I got mine, but am sure
they're still available. They are fairly pricey, so it would be a good idea
to shop around.
