leaded windows
I wish to make leaded windows in a doll-house.I have tried the thick,
pasty type of black paint which result in unrealistic thick lines of non-uniform thickness sometimes.Has anyone a better method to apply the 'lead'such that it looks more realistic? |

How about if you find the appropriate color of embroidery floss, take a single strand of it, saturate it with craft (white, "Tacky") glue, let dry, and then use it in that capacity. It could be cut to length then glued to the window, and would certainly be pliable enough to bend to whatever shape you want. It also ought to be narrow enough, as well as give satisfactory uniformity. Fine line "sharpie" marker? Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

There is a product made especially for that. It's a thin, flat metallic tape. My BW used it in a class from Brooke Tucker, and I have no idea what it's called or where to get it. Oh - here's a site I just found (just by googling on Miniature Stained Glass): Look here http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/H...157/sghelp.htm There were a couple of other appropriate sites, but that one looks like the best of the lot. - Herb |

Not sure if this will help but at the craft store they had kits to do small
leading projects. They also had tiny 'lead' lines to lay on top of glass. It was pretty cheap. If you have a craft store near, ask someone if they carry glass leading kits. If this helps, it was next to those cheesy little plastic suncatchers that kids paint with gel paint and hang in windows. Hehe. Jennie "aad terlouw" wrote in message om...
