FYI

For those of you who haven' been following me on my Facebook page janemadewithlove.co.uk let me give you a bit of back ground on myself. I have worked in accountancy for over 30 years and due to health reasons I decided to take up a hobby. I decided to try glass painting and was lucky enough to be given 4 jars or transparent glass paint and a couple of paintbrushes by my youngest sister. 

Can I just say it is not as easy as it looks and I have had many disasters and even have them now occasionally. 

I have experimented with different brands and have spent an absolute fortune on brushes.

My preferred brand of water based transparent glass paint is Le Franc & Borgouise and my favourite oil based transparent paint is Pebeo.

With regards to brushes I would think it' ad personal as someone's favourite pens. Some people can write with anything whereas other people prefer a specific grip or nib type. Can I just say I actually struggle to write with anything these days and yet mericulously I seem to be able to paint! 

I paint using the whole spectrum of the Chakra (rainbow) as each colour has a different healing property as does each chakra. I am a trained Reiki therapist but no longer practice as no matter what protection I put in place I frequently suffer the symptoms of the person receiving healing....... now however I can transfer the healing into the painting as anyone who has done Reiki will know.  This means I no longer suffer from transference of symptoms and hopefully the recover of the painted glass receives some beneit of the love and healing from their painted glass.
