GORGEOUS WORK LELAPIN!


BillieT:
If you go to your local stationery/art/hobby store they should have a full range of leads (you get them in gold, pewter, silver, black, grey, etc) If you don't feel confident about your drawing skills then you could always by some outline stickers (in any of the above colours - green, yellow, red, pink, etc as well). Then all you do is fill in the blanks :o) - a bit like paint by numbers without the numbers. The glass paints can be bought in the same places - although from time to time in the €2 store or knick knack shops you would find some cheap sets.

If you are using this with kids then a water based product is better than the solvent one (fumes and clean-up-able-ness). The water based ones can be baked in an oven for 20 mins and they will set really well. NOT dishwasher safe - my attempt was ruined by someone's good intentions and now I have some kitchenware with bits of black that won't come off :o(.
