Would it devalue my fireplace to paint it out in white? It is currently gray brick.
We have built-ins on either side of our gray brick fireplace, and I would love to paint the fireplace out in white. However, my husband feels it would be a bad idea.
Typically, the design is not etched. So, you would make a design out of paper, use stencil tack to hold it on glass and etch around the design. I use actual acid because I don't like the effect of the spray "etching". Having said that, however, I guess you could do the etching is reverse etching the design and leaving the background clear glass. Either way, you'll have fun. Good luck.
You can use acrylic paints to highlight areas, but remember you will not be able to remove later or cover it up sucessfully
I WANT the light to shine through the paint. Like The beautiful hand paited ones I see illuminated with pretty flowers or birds or buterflies. The globe is etched.
I agree with Barbara. Use stain glass paint from either Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Acrylic craft paint may work but you would need to get the translucent kind.
I think this particular globe would be just beautiful if you used alcohol ink. You can mix colors on a dauber and dab it about. Check out this video for instructions.

Get glass paint at a craft store. The paint is translucent. It is the same paint that is used for faux stained glass.
