Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit of Us All
DecoArt Glass Stain is a new American contribution to the faux-glass craft painting industsry. Glass Stain has no artistic pretensions though accomplished results were achieved with some imaginative stretching of the users guide Starting with a suggested retail of 1,50$ per bottle the product is clearly affordable and there are only 10 colors available.
The clear medium can be blended into the colors to create transparency and shading effects.However, the black leading was very difficult to apply since the consistency is no different from the stains and the drying time is lengthly. After experimenting with Gallery Glass leading we found the best compromise was fixing Gallery Glass micro-tips onto the stain leading bottle which resulted in delicate consistent lines.
Glass Stain colors had nice luminosity and transparence with some pleasantly unintended effects when applied in a layering technique. The use of Gallery Glass Crstal Clear enhanced our texture effects. Glass Stain can be used effectively on plexiglass, glass or acetate which makes it easy for children to make mobiles as well. The 30 ml bottles are acrylic based and non-toxic.
