Customer Reviews

More than you'll ever need to know about glass painting!!!

Whew! I'm a busy gal, so if I take a minute to write a review, trust me it is a great book! I usually do stained glass, but sometimes life is too busy for that- it is very time consuming. If you crave simple, yet, beautiful art projects in glass, this is the book for you! From etching beautiful holiday glasses, to painting "modern-art" type vases. The details are excellent. You will know the right paint to buy for the project you are working on. No guesswork. Even the least crafty would be amazed at the results you can obtain with this delightful book. There are enough projects to keep you busy for at least a year if you do projects on the weekends.

About The Complete Guide to Glass Painting

I have just finished reading this book cover to cover and can't wait to start it again. It's written in a very friendly manner, as though the authors knew you personally. The instructions are detailed while easy to follow. It is packed with beautiful color illustrations. Most importantly, it contains techniques and applications that I could never have come up with on my own. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who is interested in painting on glass, regardless of your level of expertise. It's worth every penny!

Inspirational!

A wonderfully fresh look at glass painting. So many of the other books on the market are basically rehashed versions of one another, but this one explores the use of all sorts of different materials. The contact list at the back, for supplies, is most useful. They also have a website...

Glass Painting Extraordinaire

This book is a wonderful guide for all techniques of glass painting. Some of the ideas are new, and the pictures help to show the 'how-to'. There are so many great ideas, it's hard for me to know where to start.The only thing I wish the authors had included is a list of sources. Some of the paint products I am unfamiliar with, and don't know what to look for at the store.
