Cameo, a definition from WikipediaCameo is a method of carving an object such as an engraved gem, item of jewellery or vessel. It nearly always features a raised (positive) relief image; contrast with intaglio, which has a negative image - mean-ing that the raised design, often a head in profile, is usually in a layer of different color from its background

Originally cameo only referred to works where the relief image was of a contrasting colour to the background . . . another generalized mean-ing has developed, the cameo as an image of a head in an oval frame in any medium.

Lampworking, a definition from WikipediaLampworking is a type of glasswork that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the mod-ern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps. Although the art form has been practiced since ancient Syrian (1 Century B.C., B. Dunham) times, it became widely practiced in Murano, Italy in the 14th century. Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that glassblowing uses a blow-pipe to inflate a glass blob known as a gob or gather, whereas lampworking manipulates glass either by the use of tools, gravity, or by blowing directly into the end of a glass tube.
