Sorry, y'all, I dropped the ball in the month of August and completely forgot to post a Craft-of-the-Month. A little preoccupied getting ready for homeschool, and my son's dual enrollment. Anyhoo, back on track, I hope with our Craft for September . . . .
Glass Painting

CRAFTS : Glass : Glass Painting : DIY Network (http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ps_glass/article/0,2025,DIY_14199_2272579,00.html)
I chose Glass Painting as this month's craft, because I will actually be doing this, this month. My Mother-In-Law's AND Sister-In-Law's birthdays are in September (along with my daughter's & my nephew's, but I'm not giving them painted glass, LOL), and I thought this would be a neat personalized gift (one for each).
My son works for a plumber who ALSO rents out storage units, and he (my son) is required to clean them out when the renters leave. Sometimes there is still stuff inside. He brought me home 4 window panes, two large and two medium. So, now that I have my canvas (glass), all that's left is the project! When I get done, I will try to take some pics and post them here.
Have YOU ever done any glass painting? If you have, share your experience with us. If you are interested in this craft, you can follow the link above to an instruction page (one of many found on the net, so you don't have to just take my word for it :smirky: ).
Happy Crafting!
