Lady of Music- Glass Painting

Glass painting can be used to create amazing decor for home. With a little patience glass and colours can be used to create unique art.

This is my first attempt at glass painting.

Materials used:

1. Black tube colour for outline design
2. Glass painting colours (I used water based colours)
3. Glitter glue pens (optional).

Method:

1. Place the design under the glass. They can be taped to the glass to avoid slipping.
2. Trace the image on the glass using the black outliner.
3. Allow the design to dry for 24 hours. Once it is dry use a craft knife to correct any mistakes made during the tracing. The knife can also be used to adjust the thickness of the lines. 

4. Start filling in the glass colours. The tube of colour itself can be used in fluid motion to fill in the colours. Ensure that there are no bubbles after applying the colours. Use a small needle/pin to pop the bubbles before the paint dries.
5. Allow the paint to dry completely.
6. Glitter glue pens can be used to highlight the painting.
7. If needed, crushed aluminium foil can be used behind the glass for a shining effect.

Frame the piece and you have your glass painting ready!!!
