...is to paint each piece of glass by hand, using traditional kiln-fired glass paint. I like to get a production line going when I'm doing painting, especially for repetitive designs. And then in the kiln they go for a good roasting - about 2 hours at gas mark 20 (up to 650 degrees Celsius) should do it, then leave to cool down in their own time.
Right must dash, there is much to do. We are going camping tomorrow - yippeee! Bit of a blow that our lovely VW campervan is still having its makeover (major rust surgery) so we're under canvas instead.
Hope y'all have good weekends and the sun ain't no stranger.
oo how interesting learning about the process.

ReplyDeleteMe too! My (ahem, of course I mean, my daughter's) collection is steadily growing - I've been trying to get Topsy and Tim at the Wedding from Ebay...that one was my favourite as a kid...I can still remember the bridesmaid dress Topsy wore - I can almost feel the taffeta!
