Great, innovative ideas!

Glass Painting in an Afternoon offers new ideas in glass painting techniques. Mickey Baskett lists and defines the basic materials necessary for the craft. He explains, in detail, the procedures that make your projects a look like a pro! Many of his projects appear intricate, but are suitable for a beginner. The diversity of his art impressed me. Many similiar books stick to one style of painting. Baskett offers traditional, modern, natural, stencil-work, and imaginative designs. I paint on glass for a living and found fresh ideas to incorporate into my own artwork. If you are looking for something fun to do on the weekend and enjoy crafts, you will like this book. Becareful!
