Glass painting vases

I made this for my mother over a year ago.

An Arabic henna design was scaled out onto parchment and traced onto a tube shaped glass vase with light markers (they fade out - excellent for fabrics).

Then using glass outliners and inks the design was filled in. With these projects you need a little (a lot) of patience. Depending on the room temperature (my studio is a dungeon), the paints take a few hours to dry completely.
