Glass Painting Book

Simple but attractive designs and a vivid use of color characterize Emma Sedman's easy-to-do glass painting. The 14 project are relatively similar to those in other books on the subject (bottles, jars, candleholders, vases, glasses, and frames adorned with floral and geometric motifs), but what sets off this guide is the more extensive introduction to the various techniques. Page after page of introductory step-by-steps explain methods like outlining, masking, and color mixing, all worked on acetate sheets to keep costs down. Once beginners have mastered these simple practice projects, they can handle any item in the book--and turn their practice sheets into attractive greeting cards to boot. Note that some of the specified paint brands in this British book may not be readily available in the U.S.; however, most craft stores carry a variety of equivalents. --Amy Handy Read More

  • Product Description

    From jazzed-up jam jars to beautified bottles to marvelous mirrors, glass painting transforms even the plainest household items into something special. These stunning projects take advantage of the wide range of techniques and new products that make glass painting one of today's hottest crafts. A festive candlestick has a holly-and-berry design outlined in gold-relief liner. Spirals and circles and dots colorfully adorn a tealight holder. Decorate a decanter with a pretty flower, and then fill it with bath salts for a personalized gift. Use gels, which give a wonderfully textured appearance and can be fired in a kitchen oven, to paint a simple and effective pattern on a floating-candle bowl. Try seasonal images on peel-off acetate for easy removal, and add glitter or glass pebbles for a shiny picture that really stands out! Includes a rundown of techniques and tools, templates, and more than 15 projects. 144 pages (all in color), 7 1/4 x 9 3/4.
