Painting on Glass
The skills used in this craft may include painting, stenciling, or metal leaf work. Patterns are found on clocks and looking glasses. The design is often done on the back of the glass, thus it appears in reverse from the front. The objects to appear in the foreground are applied first, and the backgrounds last. In metal leaf painting, the metal is laid on a size made of gelatin and water. The design is then etched into the metal. This is backed with black or asphaltum paint to complete the effect.
