Do It Over Designers - Hand Painted Glass

I love painting on glass and today I am sharing a few hand painted cheese domes with  Anne @ The Apple Street Cottage and the "Do It Over Designers". 

 I hope you'll visit their blogs to see their creative "do over" projects.  The list of participants are at the end of this post.

Read on to see how I transformed this cheese dome:

I use a 2 different types of paints:  Enamel paints and multi-surface paints.

Some times I use painter's tape, which I used  to create the black pattern on the left....

...and to create a straight edge above the stripes on this one:

These are not only good for cheese, but also for cookies or mini cupcakes!

I load the flat brush with pink, red and white paint to create the flowers with only a few strokes and to create the leaves I use a pointed-round brush, also loading it with a few shades of green paint: 

A few stripes and gold dots finish off the detail before it is baked in the oven as directed on the paint tubes.

Another dome was painted similarly:

A perfect Valentine gift for a friend:

Here's a cute little candy jar that took less than 15 minutes to paint - a perfect little "happy gift", filled with candy,  for another friend:

Painting on glass is not only fun for me, but also relaxing.  If I make a mistake I just wipe or scrape it off the glass.  Once baked, it should be hand washed only. 

  HERE are some wine glasses I painted a few years ago.

I hope you will visit these talented bloggers to see their "Do it Overs"!!
