The Glass Painter's Method by Williams & Byrne
Kiln-fired stained glass painting - fire less, paint better
From the monthly archives:
Becky D., from Stoke-on-Trent, England, asked about gold paint.
“I am currently painting an art nouveau style lady for a centre insert into a leaded light. I’m mainly using antique browns and silver stain, possibly with some coloured enamel details for jewels. Now the customer has asked if it is possible to use gold on the headpeice. Do you know if gold paint is available anywhere? So far I can only find hobby paint, and I don’t wish to use that!”
Doris Cultraro, from Rhinebeck, New York, US, writes and asks us about the kinds of brushes that we use for stained glass painting.
Here’s our list to get you started.
"Why has it taken so long to finish me?"
Careful readers will see that “The Hereford Saga” has been silent for some months.
Yes, our work on completing the full-sized design was mysteriously stopped by some factor (or factors) beyond and outside of our control!
But readers will be glad to know that we have recently been able to re-start our work.
And right now, the full-sized water-coloured design is nearly complete.
That means we will soon be able to make the cut-lines and then start cutting and painting the glass itself.
At last!
So to celebrate – here, therefore, is the first-ever Williams & Byrne Competition …
You’ll definitely want to know that the very first Williams & Byrne competition starts on …
"Let's party!"
Yes, a “year” simply measures the time it takes for a planet to orbit the Sun.
So, if the period of three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter days isn’t emotionally significant in itself, then nothing significant can be created just by multiplying this period by 10.
And yet …
Anniversaries are important.
