7/15/2024 0 Comments Some fun Christmas suncatchers.... While I wait for the glue to dry on the sea glass Christmas trees that I'm building, I am working on more suncatchers to replenish my supply. I'm using some acrylic discs to create fun Christmas suncatchers or tree ornaments - however you wish to enjoy them. #liquidstainedglass #fauxstainedglassart #stainedglass #glassart #pebeoliquidglasspaint #pebeovitrail #pebeoartist #pebeoglasspaint #whimsicalart #suncatchers #galleryglasspaint #galleryglassart #myrockpaperart 5/4/2024 0 Comments Finished project....    Here we go. Start to finish. Draw the piece, then outline it with leading. Use my markers to set out the color palette on the original drawing. Then paint it, with a few alterations while painting to make the colors more balanced. Then it's done. Now I just have to drill a couple holes in the acrylic panel so I can hang it.
I did learn an important lesson - sadly I found out the hard way that acrylic panels scratch easily. I was working on the board I use for sorting my sea glass and after finishing when I held up my piece to admire it I found a bunch of scratches on the back. In the future I will only remove the protective cover on the side I am painting. I will tell the recipients of the pieces about the back covering and they can decide whether or not to remove it. #liquidstainedglass #fauxstainedglassart #stainedglass #glassart #pebeovitrail #pebeoglasspaint #whimsicalart #galleryglassliquidleading #galleryglassart #myrockpaperart #pintart #pebeo 5/1/2024 0 Comments Let the painting begin.... The lead outlining is finished and dried. Next step - time to paint. I used some markers to figure out my color pattern on my original drawing and now it's time to start applying paint - this is the fun part! Got all my tools ready - toothpicks and eye droppers to apply the paint with, Q-tips in case I make a mistake and of course my paints. Pint Art paint that I found in Mexico, Pebeo Vitrail paint and of course Gallery Glass. #liquidstainedglass #fauxstainedglassart #stainedglass #glassart #pebeovitrail #pebeoglasspaint #whimsicalart #galleryglassliquidleading #galleryglassart #myrockpaperart #pintart #pebeo  All the outlining is done now I can start painting. I think I'm doing it in combinations of greens and blues and I'm going to add a little silver acrylic paint just to make a pop. It's going to be a slow process because the paint I work with has the consistency of water so I can't put paint side by side or there's be good likelihood that it will run into each other. I have to do one section and nothing around it until it dries. Then I can put the color that will be next to it. Slow and steady - have patience! This is my mantra as I tend to like to have projects that I can start and finish the same day! I'm learning - slowly, slowly - to get past that expectation and allow things to progress over a number of days. Maybe that's why I tend to have multiple things going at once so while I'm waiting on one thing I can still be working on something else. We'll see how it turns out. I'm excited! #liquidstainedglass #fauxstainedglassart #stainedglass #glassart #pebeovitrail #pebeoglasspaint #whimsicalart #galleryglassliquidleading #galleryglassart #myrockpaperart  The image on the left is beautiful gallery glass artwork by Lucy Shear that came across my newsfeed this morning. She's inspired me to try adapting my zentangle designs into a faux stained glass artwork. The image on the right is the design I am creating. After I finish drawing it I will outline it with liquid lead onto an 8 x 10 acrylic sheet. There's going to be a lot of lead outlining to get done before I can start painting but I'm excited to see how this works. I'm feeling that this piece will be done in shades of blue and green. I'll be using translucent paints so when this finished piece is displayed in a window it will be just beautiful! I've also decided I should get some of the Gallery Glass gold leading because look how beautiful it is in Lucy's piece! #liquidstainedglass #fauxstainedglassart #stainedglass #glassart #pebeovitrail #pebeoglasspaint #whimsicalart #galleryglassliquidleading #galleryglassart #myrockpaperart |
