Hand Painted Glass

Colors Are The Universal Language

There are times a mosaic piece calls for a special color and texture, ones that can not be found anywhere but in one's mind.

For times like this I use glass paints to create what is needed. I find glass paints to be a treat and a world of infinite creativity and play. 

First comes a layer of texture/pattern

Then a first coat of paint

 

 

Next I add a coat of a darker/lighter color, depending on a desired end result.

Once I reach a desired tone/hue, the painted glass goes into the oven to be baked for 10-15 minutes at 160 degrees (Celsius), then cool off and let the paint set.

Voila! 

All new bright colors for my next mosaic piece

Off to find some base material...
