5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, May 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gorgeous Glass: 20 Sparkling Ideas For Painting On Glass & China (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book full of beautiful color photos of designs to paint on glass and china. The recommended paint is the easy to obtain Plaid, Folkart Enamel, and the style appears almost identical to Dewberry's One-Stroke-painting, which is easy to learn. The project patterns can be photocopied and made larger or smaller, depending on the size of the painting surface. Patterns for curved surfaces have cutting lines on them to allow the pattern to lie flat against the surface of rounded glass or china. This is one book I am very happy to have.

Saw this book in a store and wanted it. So checked Amazon and got it for a fraction of the cost. Great ideas on turning plain glass items into something worth using. Also great ideas for gifts. Well written and plenty of pictures and templates.
