Forge ahead. If you are interested in seeing your paintings in glass you might investigate fused glass, in particular, a technique called painting with light. It uses glass powders and fine frits to develop the images and then it is fired to become a solid piece of glass.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-64220072716580046172009-09-23T03:56:55.763-05:002009-09-23T03:56:55.763-05:00When I was a kid I was fascinated by a museum that...When I was a kid I was fascinated by a museum that had glass painters in it.
