All that's left is baking the paint, soldering and polishing. I decided to go with black paint on white glass for the names.

Looking great!! How did you paint your letters on there so nice and neat...stencil or just a really steady hand? :) Just wondering...I like to use that paint for glass as well.

I traced the lettering onto the glass using a stencil then I painted in the lines. I used to be pretty good at paint-by-numbers. Now all that hard work is finally paying off. My mom would be so proud.

One thing you can do it to first out line the letters with paint, and then flood the remaining area with paint. Load the brush and touch the tip of it to the area to be painted and allow the paint to flow off the brush...repeat this process till the area you want painted is painted.

I did some of this. The other thing that I do is use a very small brush and reapply paint often. The smaller the brush size, the less likely you are to get the brush lines. Those small brushes don't work well for large areas. Kind of like painting your house with a tooth brush. |
