Flexible "Glass" Sculpture - Lesson Plan

[@ursie1986]

For anyone who doesn't know: those paints are easily made by mixing acrylic paint with PVA glue. Including glitters or any other finish. Must be acrylic paint.

[@limeshade848]

Thank you

[@SixRavenEight]

That's how we did it forever ago in school for art class

[@c1c1pipi]

How much glue and how much paint please

[@SusieLaLonde]

I certainly do remember that stuff back in the 70's to make flowers I used to make them all of the time and have been wondering just how I could re-create them. Thank you and will also try a sculpture! Thanks so much!

[@nomLeah]

I've done this with elmers glue as well for the same result!

[@davidbelitz7692]

Wow...I never knew. I cannot wait to make some masterpieces. Thank you blick!

[@Blick_Art]

@crisalaurette We're not certain that wax paper will work for this process. If you use materials other than what are suggested, make sure to test them first!

[@Blick_Art]

@puun14 It could possibly soften the paint and fall apart depending if you use a light source that emits too much heat. It is best to find a light source that stays cool - and then test!

[@thepakmak]

Ooh! That's gorgeous! I used to make the window ones when I was younger. :-)

[@BlackCat_2]

Looks neat. I have the Gallery Glass window cling paint which looks the same as that. I will give it a try and see if it works. - Heidi

[@Hilarycar]

You are such a good presenter. very clear

[@konkiebo]

How fun! I love Dick Blick.

[@vitranisuber]

what was that kid toy kit that was similar to this? i had played with it once when i was a wee child.

[@kathleenstrode455]

Love this..would like to attempt this soon

[@lukinharafer7180]

ADOREI MAS QUAL A LISTA DE MATERIAIS VOU VER SE ENCONTRO AQUI BR OBRIGADA

[@randolphevans8563]

Great video! Thanks! Quick question - is it possible to drill a small hole in the completed sculpture so that it can be suspended?

[@ellicetaylor1980]

It doesn't get hard and would be easy to put a small hole through. You also have the wire that you could tie a string to.

[@kenziespierrot]

If I put a lighter near this will it melt easy?

[@jennifergore4649]

Can we use bubble paint

[@scotty]

wonderful, an excellent project. thanks

[@SuperPinkcutie27]

can you use any paint?

[@michellefletcher5762]

can you use diffrenet paint or do you have to use that one

[@Blick_Art]

michelle fletcher The Pebeo Arti’ Stick is really the best option as it is transparent, flexible and slightly sticky (it is designed to make window clings). You may be able to achieve similar results with acrylic paints but we would recommend adding Golden GAC 100 to help improve the acrylic color’s flexibility. You can find the GAC 100 here: @products/golden-gac-acrylic-polymer-mediums/. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542.

[@pesto12601]

+Blick Art Materials Yeah.. its expensive too!

[@catherineblakely5726]

Blick Art Materials

[@puun14]

will it melt if i put a lamp inside it?

[@arlyhelm6219]

Did you cut the sheet protector and use the inside surface?

[@Blick_Art]

arly helm When we cut the sheet protector, we used the outside surface.

[@canpunch2611]

I love your videos

[@NAT12458]

Why couldn't you have been my art teacher in high school? My teacher only wanted us to work on this assignment called sketchbook that's it. Even in my sculpture class and ceramics class. I understand that sketching is important to both of those for planning but we never once was allowed to actually bring them to life. I never once touched clay at all in ceramics class.

[@GuerinGrad09]

That's horrible and doesn't teach you anything other than drawing! We used clay, different types of stone, glass, paint, ink, the pottery wheel, and about everything else. It's was awesome!

[@jamie7365]

Do you have to use that paint

[@Blick_Art]

Hi Jamie! Yes, in order to achieve the results as viewed in the video, Pebeo Arti'stick is the only paint that we have used successfully. It has a high degree of elasticity, yet holds firmly to the wire outlines. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542

[@funandjokes7270]

My glass fell out the wires but was still in shape is that bad? @blick

[@Blick_Art]

jane force Hi Jane! It’s not necessarily bad if you like it like that! If you prefer to try to repair the piece, you can use more of the Pebeo Arti-Stick Window Cling color to stick it back to the wire, but the process may be a challenge if the piece is not flat because the paints are slow to dry. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542.

Work more than wonderful Thanks

[@Raindropcats]

love this!!

[@karsensmith1339]

wax paper work?

[@lovemarinasart2034]

Thank you!!Its awesome!!

[@roserivera4810]

You are amazing!

[@GlassBackPaint]

www.glasspaint.com has glass paint but it is for large glass projects, i think for this type of paint in the video you need to get it at a place like www.dickblick.com

[@alvaroxex]

Really awesome

[@kimkara725]

Does this fall. Apart

[@Blick_Art]

We cannot speak to other paints that will work the same for this project. This project uses Pebeo Arti' Stick Window Paint.

[@hellokitty5lol709]

thank u this is a nice art peice in my bedroom

[@itsYourChance]

love this..

[@creativetouches1186]

wow! Amazing

[@dlwatib]

Fun little project, but I doubt very much that it would fool anybody into thinking it was glass.

[@pumpkin4107]

from far away it looks nice

[@stancexpunks]

dlwatib they weren't trying to say it looks exactly like glass. They just said it has glass like properties such as being shiny and see through.

[@hraquelazevedo]

great !

[@pesto12601]

That is one expensive project!! Those paints are very expensive and you are using a ton of it per project... yikes!!

[@ceekay3143]

+pesto12601 I reckon you could experiment with using acrylic paint, or some mix of glue and colouring, to get kind of the same thing. There's one going around Pinterest with a much smaller wire flower and nail polish.

[@aminawonder533]

[@knyghtsword]

Knight Sword look at this for the painting!

[@OgLyftz]

[@IllogicalVoid]

ILL addmit, i do watch blick stuff, but from the icon i thought they were making the squidward artwork thing from spongebob ....sadly they were not making that xD but still good vid

[@rachelbecker9277]

She looks like my 6th grade math teacher, but that's not her name 😂

[@nuradilanorjunaidi3621]

that paint may have glue

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

im going to make a staircase with glitter

[@platypies123]

lol my art class did this last year

[@ALuSioNxCHiCK]

The flowers were nice. I don't see the point or art in the other random shapes. I guess if you like abstract ._.

[@limeshade848]

Abstract makes me cringe a little.

[@audreylenae9762]

asmr

[@nufsamb5335]

It's plastic not glass

[@debbielough7754]

+nufsamb Isn't that why 'glass' is in inverted commas?

[@deannaandreschefski14]

+Debbie Lough quotation marks????

[@tornami4396]

Why am I here?

[@pedercarlson]

cool but watching real glass blowing is far more mezmerizing

[@klearusnim6926]

I'd rather work with actual glass.

[@abbylawton3051]

me too😑
