Cheers guys. I'm planning to make more, but smaller and more finnage variations. Will post pics when they're done.

Kissy, I made it using glass deco. The whole process including drying is about 30 hours biggrin.gif

OOOH! Pretty! You did an awesome job. Can you do one in blue? I'd love to see you do a blue one with a long flowy tail.

heartpump.gif Love it! It looks way bigger than 8 inches long. Is it directly on the glass or can you remove it?
Ponderosa Power
Sorry, but I don't know what glass deco is. Are they those glass frames you buy at the store and paint yourself?

it's beautiful! i've seen some others making them too on other sites, but yours is prettier and more detailed heartpump.gif



i'm not sure if i'm right kissy, but i remember from watching craft stuff on tv. there is this stuff you can buy to make your own stained glass. the black comes in a liquid that you used to make your lines on wax paper, i think, then after they dry you can put them on the glass, then you get the colors to paint inside.

Wow! Thats really beautiful! The colors are pretty and really stand out.
d_golem
yep yep it comes in liquid from that u draw on transparent plastic. The black lining dries in about 2 hours, and the colours dries in about 24 hours. Great stuff biggrin.gif

I make them just for fun, no intention of selling biggrin.gif
Ponderosa Power
So do you cut the glass into the shape you want?
d_golem
It's not glass biggrin.gif but like a peelable plastic/rubber that u can adhere to any smooth surface.
Ponderosa Power
Wow I must be really dumb today, but I'm having a hard time understanding the concept. I did some research (don't laugh at me!) and I think I get it now. You decorate glass with them by creating them and sticking them on when they are done! Right? Please say I'm at least close...
d_golem
Yep, very close laugh.gif

Firstly draw the black outline on a piece of transparent foil sheet, then wait 2 hours till it dries & harden before u apply the colours, then u wait another 24 hours before u can peel it off the foil sheet and stick it anywhere u like wink.gif
Ponderosa Power
That sounds fun! I want to try.

Oh thank you for telling me I was close...but I see that laughing smily!! rofl3.gif
