Feb 15th: Acryclic on Glass Ornament

The only thing I had left on the wedding ornament is the leaves or vine or whatever it is that appears on their invitations. So Tuesday, that's what I worked on. It was slightly difficult for me because the picture I had to go off of was pretty small. But, I was able to see the basic shape of the leaves and was able to fudge it. They turned out well. I also added a little touch of gold and dry brushed it on one side of the leaves. I get asked a lot how I get lines so thin. It's not a matter of painting a really thin line. I paint a thicker, imperfect line with basic shape and then I scratch the edges down with a toothpick to make it really thin. So really, I'm not that amazing haha. The only problem with scratching acrylic paint off of glass is that the paint may chip where you don't want it. Or it'll bunch up and take a chunk out when you only needed to remove a tiny strip. As a result, There's quite a few touch-ups. But, I still like the method. It really doesn't work for the frosted glass though... Which is why the unfrosted is so much easier. Tomorrow I'll put the finishing touches on, add tulle and seal it.
