Glitter all the way



Ok now this is a totally different technique but it's quite fun to work with. For this I take the transparent plain color which resembles more like a nail enamel hardner, add powdered glitter in it to make different colors of glitter paint. I know it sounds blingish but I loved experimenting with this technique and you can actually make out decent memoriables out of it. So for this first one I made the lead boundries and then filled with different colored glittered paint. Keep in mind that being done on glass the reverse side is the one which should be always on front i.e. the reverse of the side on which you put the glitter. After the color is dried up I coated the back side with black enamel paint so that the design can stand out.


Same technique as the above one, the only difference is that it's done on a mirror surface. So you can actually feel the glitter if you put your hand on the mirror. The outlines this time is done by gold and copper lead. The shading effect is tried to be created by using different colors in each flower and leaf.

The glitter technique done on back of the glass, this time the back of the glass is covered by crushed almunium foil instead of enamel paint to give it an over all shiny look.



Continuing the glitter on glass technique, with both almunium foil an black paint on back so the black background has a shimmer effect. If such kind of effect is needed then only 1-2 coats of black enamel is done on the back of the glass.
