Thank you, should have said I had forgotton the right steps, this is how I ment to do it, mark pattern on back of glass, useing a paint pen, let dry, mix glue with a little water so its thin enough to paint with, add food coloring a few drops at a time till you get the color you like, you can add more as you are painting, dont over mix the color, add more water as the paint thickens, paint on the same side as you marked your pattern let dry laying flat, I did three coats letting each dry between coats , dry overnight the longer the better (Thats how I messed this up ) mix glue with water to thin so its easy to spread, go over the whole glass, on the painted side, with a very soft brush, be carefull when going over the painted parts, have a peice of regular tissue paper ready that you have crushed up in your hands, the more you crush the paper the better it will look, thats how you get the texture, open paper up and carefully start at one side of the window and lay the paper pressing lightly with your finger tips as you go, dont raise the paper back up as it will pull the paint,and tear the paper, mix up more glue and dap on another coat on top of the tissue paper, be carefull as the paper will tear so easy, only dap on the glue useing a full brush full, lay flat till dry. if I was useing the paint extender with craft paints, I would spray on a sealer frist before adding the tissue paper, I do all the steps on one side so the other can be cleaned. on the one pictured I did the paint pattern on the other side, fliped it over and started painting LOL! oddie

CAC, So sorry to hear about your step-dad. I can sympathize with you about no elevator. When we found out my dad's cancer had spread to his lungs my SIL and I would alternate going to his chemo treatments with my mom so we could drop them off at the door and go park the car. As his health worsened he ended up needing oxygen and the medical supply company dropped off the machine and one portable tank and they were going to deliver more oxygen the next day. Wouldn't you know it that night they delivered the oxygen machine for him we had a terrible rainstorm and we lost power. My mom called us up at midnight in a panic because they lost power too and didn't have electricity to power the oxygen machine and the small portable one they had wasn't full and he only had a couple of hours of oxygen left in it. My hubby is in the air compressor business and we had a generator but our only problem was that it was in a storage unit where they lock the gates at 8:00 pm and we couldn't get ahold of anyone to open the gate for us so we could get the generator. Fortunately, Home Depot had recently opened a brand new 24 hour store about a mile from us AND they had not lost power, so they were open. My hubby and I went and we bought a brand new $600 generator which was the cheapest they had even though it had a big sign over it that clearly stated that it could NOT be returned (what choice did we have? My dad needed oxygen!) and then we had to find a gas station that had power and was open which took quite some time but we finally found one, got the gas and went to the senior apartment building where my parents lived and hauled that frickin' generator up five flights of stairs in the dark with only a small flashlight to see where we were going. Then we had to set up the generator using the same flashlight which by now was not burning as brightly as it had because my hubby and I are big (ok we are fat and out of shape) so it took us a while to get up those steps to their apartment. We finally got the generator up and running the oxygen machine just as his portable oxygen tank ran out! Phew...we were sweating bullets by then! Fortunately, power was restored early the next morning and when we talked to a sympathetic worker at Home Depot they allowed us to return the generator!!! BTW...I love your stuff and good luck getting the gorilla glue off! Barb

ADORABLE!!! Love it! Love the copper patina! And the cherry colors! I am using a orange whispy glass on the latest project I am doing, and one of my last projects had a bluebird/birdhouse theme! Sheesh, I don't know why I don't do some quick little projects like this up, so I can get a stained glass fix!heh heh! Here is a link that might be useful:
