Looks interesting can you actually describe what you've done???

The illustrations without any materials/procedures etc isn't a great deal of help!

The material can use the high quality polyester resin with black dye.

First, make the concave of translucent resin on the glass.

Second, you can put on other glass and use clear resin to finish it.

Interesting way to make the apodization filter....

I wouldn't have expected that to be optically ok, but it seems fine and smoother tonally than simpler methods (e.g., laser printing on transparency material).
