I think Iv finally cracked the whole paining glass thing! And cracked some glass in the process! I mixed food colouring with PVA glue! pour it inside what you want to paint then swirl it round and let the excess drain out! Then put your glass in the oven. I found an amazing vase that would have made a perfect ships lantern type light! But it was clear! So I painted it red. The colour was perfect, the level of tint was spot on! So I put it in the oven and it cracked! Absolutely ruined! I persevered and managed to paint some jars! So Trial and error must Prevail! Some turned out ok! Il see how it goes!
