product description:
Dazzling full-color photographs instruct and inspire as they present every step of this beautiful craft, from basic outlining to complex special effects. Etch, create embossed effects, make mosaics, and more. 25 original projects range from simple to more advanced and include a backgammon set, jewelry box, sun catcher, and Christmas ornaments. A motif library of 400 designs offers unlimited potential.Perhaps the definitive book on glass painting, this comprehensive volume explains everything beginners need to know in order to find great success with the craft. But it also overflows with great ways for more experienced glass painters to broaden their repertoire. Extensive step-by-step directions and hundreds of clear color photos cover all the basics (outlining and its many variations; pattern transfer; painting with many types of paints and applicators) as well as numerous alternate effects (including layering, marbling, embedding, metal leafing, and stenciling). Related methods are also shown (etching; glass cutting; using different kinds of glues). The 25 projects range from patterns painted on existing glass forms (glass-fronted key cupboard, small table, vases, bottles, serving platter, lamp) to more elaborate shapes cut and glued together after painting (art deco clock, gilded box, suncatchers); some are suitable for the novice, while others are more advanced. In addition to complete pattern templates for every project--and sometimes even alternate designs too--the authors provide a few hundred other motifs so readers can take off on their own. An excellent overview of materials and a list of suppliers round out this wonderful package.
