Putting Patterns on Glass
by Ruby Carlson
I am really into the recycle business of painting on bottles and making them into lamps. But having a problem trying to draw the pattern on the glass. Do you have any little tip you could give me? The graphite paper really doesn't work too well... Answer Hi Ruby, Make a stencil using contact paper. Try carbon paper instead of the graphite paper. Put your pattern inside the bottle so you could see it through the glass. I don't know what size bottles you use, or if the opening is large enough to get the pattern in there and stuck in place with glue. It would wash out when you're done. Or use my making pattern pieces method. That's all I can think of. Perhaps someone reading this has some ideas. Good luck with your lamps. If you care to, send a picture when you have one finished. They sound interesting. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
