Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Colors and Hand Painted Goblets:

A couple of weeks ago, when we were in Bend for the car show, I took these pictures of a pretty window display and I thought that you guys might enjoy them too:

The colors are cheerful. I bet those would be fun to make. Have you used glass paint before? Is it easy to apply? I hand-painted some bottles last year, but I didn't know about glass paint yet. I'm sure that if mine got wet, the paint would wash right off. I'm thinking of spraying clear sealant on them to save my efforts though. What do you think would work?

Hootin Anni said...: I so enjoyed these lovlies m'dear!! How colorful, fun, and bright. I've never done anything with glass...well, I'm sure scrubbing doesn't count now, does it? [wink]

If you DO try it, make sure you show us all how it's done...from start to end.

Have a lovely day.; August 17, 2011 at 10:07 AM
