Glass Painting Made Easy

Ten original and easy-to-follow projects, all specially commissioned, show a range of ideas that, when finished, will look equally at home in a country cottage or city flat. Readers are encouraged explore glass painting using old recycled glass containers, from old jam-jars to goblets bought at car boot sales. Bright modern colours have been used on glass, mirrors and even transparent plastics. Practical applications include jewelled goblets, fun kitchen jars in bright primary colours and a pretty vase in the style of Clarice Cliff. For outdoor entertaining, a jug and glasses are painted with butterflies in light, summer colours.
