Design by Margot Clark and Saulius Jankauskas

Three variations for 7-1/2" x 19" painted tulip panels. The panels are created using common float glass and glass paint, and the size of the patterns is enlarged as needed to fit each individual panel. Careful selection and shading of the paint colors helps create realistic flowers and leaves. Tips and techniques are shared for mixing and applying paint to glass, and a kiln schedule is provided for firing the paints.
