Here are some of my attempts at glass painting.

These were done using a mould and the *vase* (actually an old Breezer bottle) was sponged.

It's so hard having to empty all these beverage bottles before I use 'em! *hic*  ;D

Had a bash at decorating the windows.

Corner section of decorated mirror.

And - yes ... I DO like blue!  :D

Hi

Like your glass painting examples

I understand that the techies are well advanced with a system for transfering appropriate drinkies via the internet to share with like minded crafters.

So far they are suggesting you pour the contents of the bottle onto your scanner, scan and save as a .jpg.

Then send as an attachment via email.

They are still looking for that final FLASH of inspiration

Probably get it from the scanner.

Apparently only works as yet with SPIRITS  after midnight and at a high point in the senders day

Cyber sozzling huh?  ;D ;D ;D I like that idea! I need to keep those empty bottles coming.
It is a tough job ... but someone has to do it ......

Your work is beautiful.  I have tried glass painting but didnt get on with it very well, I couldnt get the paint to go on, I always managed to make it look really 'lumpy' and when I tried to brush the paint out made even a bigger mess lol

Thanks Di ... know what you mean about the lumps!!! I find the squeezy spreadable glass paint helped a bit when I first tried.
