This volume helps readers reproduce the look of stained glass, through the craft of glass painting. Transparent paints combine with piped "liquid leading" from a tube to create a wide variety of desirable objects made from glass, plastic or acetate. Some of the items it is possible to create include window panels, candle-shades, acetate greeting cards, easy-to-make suncatchers, and boxes and baubles. Old jam jars, bottles and acetate packaging can be transformed into attractive items. The book shows readers: how to paint on both flat and vertical surfaces, how to create paint effects; how to add exotic "jewels", beads, and gold and silver "leading"; and other techniques, such as using shrink plastic and creating stick-on, peel-off temporary suncatchers.

How to paint on anything that looks like glass....,
By Pamela Lim (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Paint on Glass (Paperback)
This book gives you inspiration to use anything that looks like glass around the home, Ferrero Rocher plastic box, glass box, bottles, acetate, and makes you want to do your windows and mirrors.....! The artist teaches you with available tools around your home and it is relieving to know that you don't have to have this and that tool before embarking on a simple project that may take you just a day to finish. Patterns are given and you are taught how to make your own too, definitely a fail-proof manual and reference book that you would find hard to keep on the shelf...!
