I Paint On Anything – Wine Glasses

Tweet

It true. As I look through my photos I am amazed to find dozens of photos of things I've painted on. Just for fun, not necessarily to make money with. I have been painting since I was in high school. I went to art school, I have used my ability to paint to make money for a long time. I paint on slate now, making interesting signs that sell in stores and tourist places in the area I live in. Years ago my daughter wanted to make her own Christmas ornaments for her tree and for gifts so I bought the chemicals you add to paint that you can use to paint on glass. (Now, you can buy paint that is ready to use on glass.) We had a good time in my studio making ornaments. Then I thought about wine glasses... A long time ago I painted the wine glasses in the photo above and gave them to my sister. She loved them and broke one.... I painted camping scenes on the glasses. Last summer when I was at her home she suggested I take them home and use them since she doesn't drink wine anymore... but I do so I took them home and have enjoyed using them when my girlfriends come over for a glass of wine. Its not hard to do, and the painted glasses needed to be baked after painting them. I'm not sure if the new paint for glass needs to be “cooked” but I imagine it does need to be so the paint won't wash off. Have you ever done this? If you do follow the instructions on the product you use. And have some fun while you're at it.
