I work with warm glass and I just love to recycle old glass in order to breath life into a totally new object. Here is an example of one of my recycled glass creations. This is a "Fall Wreath" with glass leaves.
In order to achieve the desired look of the vibrant, orange and golden-yellow fall leaves, I decided to experience with Pebeo Vitrail Paints
I had never used Pebeo paints
My glass leaves are made of clear glass and so this was a perfect canvas for my experiment. I used three colors: Clementine
Notice in the picture, I also experimented on the dark green glass leaves to see if I could achieve the look a a green leaf gradually turning colors. The result was not as I expected. I think I would need to play a bit more with this.
I feel like someone just opened a door and introduced me to a whole new world of creative opportunities!! Wow!! I have sooo many new ideas!!
Please note that there are different types of Pebeo Paints. Here is a list of the different ones I have recently learned about:
1. Pebeo Vitrail
Note that you can also use this to create stained glass effects on an opaque surface such as a canvas.
2. Pebeo Vitrea Paints
3. Pebeo Setacolor Fabric Paints
**Be careful when choosing your paints: be sure to notice if the paint is Opaque (more like a solid color), or Translucent (you can see through).
