This site currently shows many examples of mirror art and glass graphics
designed for the following uses and applications:
The techniques we will teach you allow you to place graphics, hand painting
details, gold leaf, and other artwork behind the glass, where it smoothly blends with the existing mirror. You
can create an endless variety of mirror art and graphics. From simple bordered glass for use as picture frame replacement
glass and cabinet doors, to highly complex designs.
The visual result is amazing. You would never guess that the process is as
simple as it really is. Even your mistakes can look wonderful.
We are in the process of updating this web site with new images and free handouts for a variety of crafts projects,
so please be patient. We will eventually relocate the site to a dedicated server and with a new domain.
Should you have any questions, just ask. We are coffee powered late into
the night, so expect a fast reply, usually.
The images shown on this site will help to illustrate what can be easily created using our techniques, a few common
tools and materials, and a little effort. So what we do, you can easily do as well.
We believe that the versatility of our process is what makes this technique so useful to the crafter. Regardless
of the type of craft you do, you can certainly put our process to good use.
We decided to publish this book because so many people have asked for our previous series of handouts. So we revised
everything, formatted it for convenience and offer a printed and bound version. We also decided that as good as
our technical manual might be, why not give you a taste of the basic technique, and put some basic how-to instructions
on the web site.
For The Webmaster
If you would like to share our techniques with your readers, we offer a free
handout you can place on your web site. All we ask for is a link in your links section of your web site and we
ask that you leave our email address intact.
We can supply a document in the following formats: RTF,
DOC, HTML, Plain Text, and PDF.
If your web site is active, please ask us for further information.
This is a simple, yet highly interesting technique. We believe
that it brings something new to the world of crafting - a completely new idea. Well, OK, not new, but probably
new to many people who visit us. The process is very simple to use, takes very little effort to create stunning
designs, it is inexpensive and does not require any special tools or hard to find materials.
We hope this site provides some interesting ideas you can use. Again, should
you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. We answer every message we get. Eventually.
Thank You for visiting us.
