GLASS PAINTING

Hello all, Today I am gonna share with you my experience in doing my first glass painting. Anybody can create a beautiful painting in a piece of glass. All you need to create a glass painting is a piece of glass, glass painting colours, a soft brush, outliner and a piece of cloth. I learned to do glass painting by watching videos and surfing in the internet. I started by choosing a design for my painting and I drew it in a white paper. Then I traced the pattern over the glass with the help of a black glass outliner. I left it to dry for half an hour. And then I poured the glass paints in the picture and spread it with a help of a soft brush. To my surprise it came out really well than what I was expected. I allowed it to dry for 48 hours. I have just given the my work for framing. You can even use glitters to give an added look. Hope this post would have given an idea for the beginners of glass painting.

Making Terracotta Jewellery

Hi all, Here is a small information about terracotta jewellery with tutorial on how to make it. Terracotta Jewellery is a hand made yet beautiful bright coloured earthenware jewellery. Making this type of jewellery is quite easy but need more patience. I have watched making terracotta jewellery in television and decided to try myself. I have did few and shared the pictures below. Hope this would be helpful.





Materials required :

1. Terracotta clay ( Available in all craft shop)
2. Tungsten wire
3. Metallic and pearl fabric colours
4. Jewellery making cord (black)
5. Ballpoint pen refill
6. Tooth pick
7. Rolling Pin

Step 1: Knead the clay to remove air inside. Use a rolling pin to flatten the clay and cut it in to desired shapes.

Step 2: Use Tooth pick to make designs in the clay. Use the bottom of a ballpoint pen refill to make small circle like designs.

Step 3: Make tiny balls using hand. Cut the tungsten wire in to 2 cm pieces. Insert one end in to the pendent piece. Insert the tiny balls in to the other end of the wire.


Step 4: For making beads roll the clay in hand and make holes in it with the help of a tooth pick.

Step 5: Let it dry for 2 to 3 days and paint it with fabric colours.


Step 6: With the help of a cord join the beads and pendent to make a beautiful jewellery.
