Tracing directly on glass using only a sharpie? Yes that's right, just a sharpie and... a steady pulse!! :0) art
The very first thing you need to do is find your image to print and for that I will let you know one of my fav places on the internet where you can chose from dozens of images that are free of copyrights and ready for high resolution printing... "The Graphics Fairy" http://www.thegraphicsfairy.com
The I placed the clean glass on top and started tracing...I painted directly on the glass using a black, ultra fine point sharpie for a more define edge.
I know, I know it feels weird to write words backwards but if you ignore that you are tracing words and pretend they're just images, it'll be ok.
As you can see in my close-ups, I didn't do a very good job at tracing on the lines but believe me when I tell you, it won't show so bad after you're done.
Here I'm showing you another image, this one didn't need to be printed on mirror image because it contained no text.
This beautiful mermaid design was very different from the first ad style design and required more attention because of it's lines and dots details...it was harder to trace properly and it took me about an hour to finish.
