I noticed a blog entry over at Craft Critique by my friend Maria del Pinto about Folk Art Enamel Paints that can be used on glass. How cool is that? Maria’s post includes all kinds of information on products that go well with the paint what to do and not to do with it, such as, don’t thin with what. Also this paint needs to be cured, either in the oven or left to dry for at least 21 days. I like the oven method due to how quickly your project can be done. Maria has done a couple of projects so you can see what the material looks like on glass or ceramics. I’d love to see it incorporated in some mosaic work, but that’s just me…what would you do?
