Some stained glass techniques

We have been doing our Jesse tree readings leading up to Christmas. Yesterday Jude made a stained glass effect earth for our reading on creation, and today they all got stuck into making a stained glass snake for our reading on the fall.

Stained Glass effect Snake.
First add black acrylic paint to pva glue and give it a good mix until everything turns black.
Outline a picture of a snake (use watercolour paper, or thick paper).
Leave the outline to dry.
Paint in with watercolour paints, it turned out so well that everyone wanted to do one.
Jude coloured in this earth and then dipped cottonwool in oil and covered the picture with it.

We then put it on the window to let the light shine in.
I was so pleased that Ciara wrote this so well, she must be quite familiar with the shapes of the letters in her mind to be able to copy my dots so closely.
