Does anyone know a good place to buy decals online? I'm looking for a wide range of them to make more pendents. Where does everyone shop for their glass items online? My local store stopped carrying them. Thank you I shop at http://www.lincolnglass.com/# and http://www.dlstainedglass.com' Thank you |

I use sepia slides (works best on light coloured glass) & Decal Magic Glass Accents which are 22k gold and great to transfer onto any colour, transparents and opaque. At Hoy's, I met the lady who makes the Sepia Slides and had a chance to see her demos. They're a charm to use as well. Here is her website: http://www.seahorse-creations.com/ |

Good idea, but I don't really care for the sepia appearance, at least for this. The lustre phase is coming to an end very soon...too finicky and time consuming. time to move on to bigger things.

I recently found this site for color decals and since I'd never tried ceramic decals before I placed an order. http://www.instardecals.com/I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the decals I received...very crisp lines and good color. I did my first test with one yesturday. Unfortunately, I picked a Jack Russell terrier in shades of brown and white so it looks a bit on the sepia side with the glass I fired it on but I'm pleased with the way it fired and the overall image. |

I hope the others fire just as good. These were meant for people like me with absolutely no painting skills!  |
