A toast to decorative painting

Take a few wine glasses, apply glass primer, mix your paint with glass medium, and paint something fun!

I've borrowed this idea from a painter called NC Rick who had really gone to town on painting faces on all sort of glass. You may still be able to see their ideas on  their Flickr site.

The faces are designed originally by Jamie Mills Price, and are a free pattern on her web site.

The glass and tile media are from Jo Sonya, the manufacturer of a wide range of decorative painting materials.

I mixed these with DecoArt Americana paints as used in Jamie's pattern. I was told that it would be better to just use products from one or the other manufacturer, but my choice seems to work fine.

A couple of coats of varnish will help to protect the paint, but it's handwashing all the way for these babies!
