It was a fun project.
TJ- A...Heidi Ann- Thank you. It was a fun project.<br /><br />TJ- Aw, you're a sweetie!<br /><br />Alex- "Our Lady of Perpetual Thrift"-- Ha, I like it, it has a ring to it. :)<br /><br />Featherbed- In Pittsburgh, we need all the color we can get.<br /><br />Lisa- Oh, thank you. I think I just had different expectations based on what I'd pictured in my mind. But hey, it was a great lesson!<br /><br />Colleen- I DID sit on my couch staring at it for a while, trying to see how I felt about it. The extra color was certainly welcome.<br /><br />Beth- If you search on "stained glass patterns" online you should be able to find some good free ones. There will definitely be some in the Victorian style.<br /><br />Lindsay- The stick on leading is, I believe, from the Plaid company. It's a grey-black rubber strip you peel off, and it has sticky stuff on one side which you can press and adhere to your glass piece. You cut it to size with a little razor blade. It seemed a better option than using the black paint to create lines. This way, things are more precise.<br /><br />The paint I used was mainly called Gallery Glass. It's in Michael's in the stained glass paint section along with the faux leading.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-41045082455340460922010-08-18T22:34:27.025-07:002010-08-18T22:34:27.025-07:00so many questions!! i've not seen a project li...so many questions!! i've not seen a project like this look as good as yours!!<br /><br />what is this "stick on leading" that you speak of?<br /><br />did you fill your black lines later to make them look more soddered? <br /><br />what brands of paint did you use?? <br /><br />this is just fabulous and opens the door to so many new possibilities!! thank you for sharing!Lindseyhttp://www.elephantinmypocket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-80459077126448719862010-06-06T17:42:50.200-07:002010-06-06T17:42:50.200-07:00I am definitely going to try this.

After seeing your previous post on Sunday, I waited patiently for this moment.<br /><br />I know how difficult it is to wait for paint to dry! I have to put myself to this test every time with watercolors -_-. Very good that you did wait though ^_^. I really really like it and it turned out really cool! I love the colors you used too. I thought you always had to use a 'liquidy paint', that automatically flows till it covers the area.<br /><br />Can't wait to see more of your stained glass adventure in the future!<br /><br />Ciao *waves*TJ Lubranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893305234181263717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-4517784708732128932010-03-30T16:27:25.940-07:002010-03-30T16:27:25.940-07:00It certainly does catch the light nicely, and I...It certainly does catch the light nicely, and I'm impressed.
