Faux stained glass media test

 

I want to make faux stained glass, so I got Gallery Glass Liquid Leading, quickly made this pattern freehand on a spare piece of glass from a broken picture frame, and tested different media in the spaces:

The bottom blue and green corners, bottom red diamond, and left yellow diamond are nail polish. The center red diamond, top yellow corner, and upper left blue diamond are Higgins ink mixed with acrylic string gel. And the rest are Higgins ink mixed with Elmers clear glue.

The verdict is the Elmers clear glue works best, but the others may be useful for particular effects.

Of course it'd be grander to make real stained glass, but my father says I'm too prone to injuring myself to use a soldering iron. ^_^
