Paint on Glass

 The girls and I saw a framed piece of glass with a silhouette at a craft store.  They decided to paint one of the frames from our "stained-glass" window on a frame, leaving a lot of unpainted space for the wall to show through.

 These look even better in their rooms with the
paint of their walls showing.

A candle holder for all seasons

We had a lot of fun with this new project.  We painted recycled glass

jars with frosty acrylics to give a warm glow to these candle holders. 

We decorated the screw tops with wire and beads.

  I love the soft glow.

Is it stained glass?

I purchased an old window at a garage sale last spring. The girls and I decided to make this faux stained glass.







First, we drew six designs for the panes.







Then, we taped the designs on the front side of the panes and traced the drawings with 3-D, black acrylic paint.






Then, we spent LOTS of time painting in each section with acrylics, aiming for balance and harmony.






Now, we need someone to hang it in the art room!
