Awesome Book - "Painting on Glass & Ceramic" !!!

I love this book! So many cool projects and the color photos are great throughout the book. All sorts of ideas to paint for home decor, holiday and gift giving too. If you love to paint and haven't tried painting on glass or ceramic, this book is the best I've seen.

This book is excellant and actually provided information that I was not already familiar with. I have painted on glass for a few years. No other books ever advised of a product to use to coat your work with that would protect it. I really learned a lot from this book.
