£10 each if you want them!

Maybe a cheapo Asda pint glass is not the way to show them off at their best, come to think of it...but I just wanted to experiment and see what happened. I was thinking of doing some kind of label-bordery thing for my juice bottles

Omg!! You are way ahead of me. I haven't even got the bottles out of the boxes yet let alone paint anything.
How do you do the marbling effect? I only have the straight forward painting work box from Pebeo

Just gorgeous Jen !

They're Marabu Easy Marble paints, follow the link I gave to Beautycat if you want some - all shades of purple

You need a big container of water, which is kinda cumbersome, and they form a weird sort of plasticky film on the surface. I had a few problems with the stupid stuff sticking to my skewer (and hands, and table), and it doesn't like some areas of glass for some reason and slides right off. Then sometimes the film breaks, and you end up with only half coverage...it's a bit tricksy but mesmerising!

Sounds a bit messy Jen not sure i could manage it with my disabilities but I shall take a look.

I wonder if the coverage problem could be the glass not being squeaky clean. It said on my paint box it's very important to get the glass extremely clean and dry. Even finger marks picking it up can cause problems.

I tried it on some Ikea glass jars which I'd put through the dishwasher then cleaned with alcohol wipes and then a micro-fibre cloth - didn't happen on the other glass that got the same treatment, so I'm putting it down to *weirdness*

Love your new project, Jen, they look great! Whambamsam (where she? ) was into glass painting. Get into it & you could make some cracking erm...lovely glass tanks.
