It’s all glued in and finished!
11 different paper types were used and hand-cut, and the circular design is based off a motif in one of the stained glass pieces in Celestia’s hall. Celestia’s sun and Luna’s moon make up the top and bottom motifs. I put in that detail shot so you could see how the paper sparkles. :’)
That’s the awkward thing about displaying paper works; it’s never the same in photos as it is in the flesh.
Edit: you guys might like to know that I’m selling this piece for $75. Please contact me if you are interested. :)
