Faux Glass

My latest polymathic pursuit is making faux stain glass using Deco Art's Liquid Rainbow. How did I get started on this? Well I was wandering through the paint section of the Joann's and I saw this blank plastic sheet. I wondered what it was for. It didn't take much looking to find an instruction book explaining that this plastic sheet was for paint which would dry into a window cling. It starts with Leading Paint:

You wait a couple of hours for it to dry then you fill in with the color paint. It's cloudy to start and looks like this:

But it dries to a surface that mimics stained glass. The colors take a lot longer to dry and they'll tear if it's not thick enough so I often add another layer if I can. You then slowly peal it off the clear plastic and it's ready to go up on a window like this:

And Ta-Da! Elly has a new fad hobby which should keep her happy until Christmas at least.
