Very nice Bill,
Colored ink from an inkjet will more than likely fade eventually if left in full sun. How quickly it will do this I don't know. And quite possibly better quality ink will last considerably longer. But, I think that placing the tissue on top of the final layer of glass is a great idea, making it easy to sand-off and replace. Thanks.
