    Partial Table of Contents | The Introduction | Preface


    "Creative Mirror Art and Glass Crafts" started out as a random
    collection of shop notes. Over time, it became a book. We decided
    to offer the book to others, so we are constantly updating and
    formatting it for sale.

    The final result is the book we are offering to the general public.



    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.

Should you have any questions, just ask. We are coffee powered
late into the night, so expect a fast reply, usually.

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.

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 recieve. Eventually.

Thank You for visiting us.
