Glass Painting |
|
 |
 |
| Under construction and.... | ....the finished painting. |
| 1. Place a sheet of acetate (plastic sheeting) over a drawn outline, in this case a floral design. |
| 2. Squeeze the liquid lead beading from the bottle onto the sheet along the outline of the design and leave it to dry overnight. |
| 3. Fill in the design with the colouring paints straight from the bottle. Apply thickly. |
| 4.To achieve a smooth texture 'comb' the paint with either a cocktail stick or a combing tool (provided with the larger kits). The picture on the left shows this being done. |
| 5. Leave it to dry overnight. The paint is opaque when applied but clears to simulate stained glass as it dries. |
|
Usage: The finished design can be peeled off the sheeting and placed directly onto a window pane. Since the back is smooth it clings to the glass without adhesive. Alternatively, it could be left on the acetate and hung from a window frame. There are several ways of using the glass paint. I have made some 'glass' flowers with it and decorated some lampshades. |

'Gallery Glass' provide the materials to produce leaded glass effect painting. This example is part of a design that adorns a patio door. |
