Painting on Glass Cabs
Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store
http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm I bought some white glass cabs a while back with the thought that I could decorate them somehow to use in jewelry or kits. But I don't know what to paint them with that would be permanent. Hubby said they used to paint jelly glasses with enamel paints and them cook them to make the paints permanent. Anybody ever tried to do this? Or have any other suggestions?

Karleen, there are paints especially for glass at places like Michael's, or
Dick Blick -- or any craft supply store. Check them out -- Michael's has an entire (small) aisle of the stuff. DH is right, too -- enamel paints would work. Good luck! It sounds like fun.

Any oil based paint use do. I have used artist paint to do this and it last
forever. Roxan "Karleen/Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message k.net...

There are specialty paints specifically made for glass. You can put them in
the kiln and fire them up to temp. That makes the paintings permanent. I'm not sure model paints would work. "Harry" wrote in message ...

Yes -- those are enamels. But glass paints would probably be prettier and wear better. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

are fairly transparent, and you can just brush it on... it's called Permenamel. beht "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ... Would the paint they use to paint model cars and stuff work also?
