Getting Started with Gallery Glass®
Glass Painting
The
Modular Method (click for how-to photos)
Any window or glass surface in your home can
be enhanced using the versatile Modular Method. Using the
Modular Application, the design motifs are leaded, painted,
and cured on the Leading Blank surface. When they are dry,
they are then peeled up and placed on the window or other
glass surface, such as vases, (they automatically adhere to
the glass with static cling). If you are decorating a window,
you then use Redi-Lead strips or cured Liquid Leading strips
to create borders, connect the designs and finish the window
mural design.
The Modular Method allows much more versatility
than the vertical method. If you don't like the original placement
of your design, you can pick it up and move it to another
position.
The
Vertical Method (click for how-to photos)
Gallery Glass window color may also be applied directly
to your vertical surface, such as windows, vases, candles,
etc.
Please note that vertical application requires
either the use of Redi-Lead or pre-made and cured leading
lines created with Liquid Leading. Liquid Leading should never
be applied directly to a vertical surface. Once the leading
lines have been placed on the glass, Window Color paints are
used to fill in the pattern designs.
The
Direct Horizontal Method (click for how-to photos)
The Direct Horizontal Method is used when you wish to use
Liquid Leading™ and apply it directly to the project
surface; such as when creating art panels, frameable art,
and flat ornaments.
Gallery Glass Styrene Blanks and Suncatcher Blanks are ideal surfaces
for window and frameable art. You could also use a piece of glass from a picture frame.
