Dinasset - thank you!!
Issabella - you asked about my approach for my last image, given no filters were used; well here is a quick summary:
1. I used an oval 'gem' brush
2. I stroked the paisley path several times with the brush firstly at its native settings, which produced something like a linked chain effect; then I stroked the same path with the brush set at different 'spacing' settings each on a different layer.
3. Then I used 'colouriser' to de-saturate all layers, then blended those layers to create a clear glass paisley shape.
4. Next I created several gradient blend layers to add colour to the glass, created 4 or 5 copies, scaled them down and finally kept tweaking until I liked the result.
Not sure if starting off with the gem brush counts as cheating or not
Anyway, I tried some more, different techniques this morning, failing miserably with most, but did end up with something that (I think) looks like glass which has been sculpted!

very easy:
1-selected the background area
2-made that area transparent
3-inverted selection
4-launched my filter DIEGO_Glass-Frame-Effect (released on Gimp-chat some times ago), selecting the option: Gradient flare
that's it try yourself

well done.
I have down loaded your wooden emaps but not installed them yet;
so keep watching for a combination paisley of wood and glass!
