I'm a beginner - just done a few bits & bobs. Awkward stuff to control...

I've made window-stickies, too - those plastic suncatcher things? They're fun!

I've only done a couple of glass things, and I have no pics of those... a couple of wine glasses, and a few tests.

I have some pics of the suncatchers I made, though - they're on the Other Crafts section of my site - there's a link at the right of my site, or you can get to it at this address : www DOT scorchpyro DOT co DOT uk SLASH Engraving DOT html (sorry, I can't post a direct site link for you )

I do have a challenge coming up, though - a commission for a dreamcatcher that includes painted glass circles! Never done that before - hoping it all works OK...

Dream cacthers are nice! ive got a design for one and im thinking of painting it in the near future, it will be made of acetate sheets as they are light and transparent, sorta mobile thing.

Well, now I've paid up to get a Pro account on Flickr, I have enough space to share my pcs with you, like you asked...

I went through phase of glass painting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I only stopped because I had nowhere away from our living space to do it. You have stirred my interest again - I must look out my equipment and have a go. Not that anything I do will be photogenic but as long as I enjoy doing it.

They're fantastic scorch.
I've actually just treated myself to a glass painting kit, my excuse for this one being that I'd like to make some painted candle holders. I've got a box of plain glass votives that are just crying out for decorations!

I've used the acetate sheets before, I used them for card making. It was very relaxing to do and a great effect so I'm looking forward to giving it another try.

[Scorch]

Thanks, PurpleSparkle! They were fun to make... though a bit fiddly to blend the colours to get shades.

What sort of designs are you planning for your candle-holders? They should look nice, with the light from the candles and all...

Hi Titania, I love glass painting :), and have made many cards using acetate, also bookmarks and pictures. I have a basic tutorial on my website, here is a link to the page where you can see samples of my stuff (a card, 2 pictures and a colour key). http://www.things-to-make-and-do.co.uk/painting%20and%20pictures/glass%20painting%20how%20to/glass%20painting.html

I look forward to seeing some of your stuff and swapping ideas etc.

Something I used to do a lot of, before all the extra children came along! I remember making some lovely gift boxes out of the old, ferrero rocher boxes! Pity it was also pre-digital camera days as well so no piccys :mad:
Never mind, I can tell myself that they were really good! :D
