I have been a painter since I was 12 and for some years I was a trained stained glass artist. Until I got sick and now my hands cannot cut glass. I am allergic to resin with full PPE on if there is a bit of bare skin on my forehead I get eczema. This I could do but I would use the dyes because to me it has to be transparent. Thank you.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

💕thank you for sharing 🥰 stories similar to yours are one of the reasons I wanted to create this product line. The first and last options in this video will dry clear like stained glass. If you're sensitive to smells, the first option may not be ideal, even though it has the most professional finish... the smell isn't strong but if you're working with it for a while in a smaller area without air circulation, you start to notice it. I hope you're able to give them a try, a few new designs are being added tomorrow! Then Christmas designs next week😊.

🥰yay! I'm so glad you like this! I'm very excited about it too!

[@lisajax6765]

Just putting my two cents worth in here I have used Tart liquid glass and I have mixed it with alcohol inks. I have also mixed it with Micah powder. I have had a couple pieces that I’ve done for over a year and I have no yellowing and they were directly in the window. One of them specifically was directly in the window, so I love the liquid glass itself levels as welland very little bubbles to have to contend with. It actually even stops itself you know at the edge of your peace you know which we were doing it on glass actual glass.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I believe you mean TriArt Liquid Glass, and yes! I would expect that to work as that is more of a varnish. They call it a resin but it's much different than an epoxy resin (which is what I'm comparing to in the video). Just like the varnish I'm using, they won't yellow in the sun. So yes, you can definitely use that product on glass or the pieces I'm creating in this video. I'm sure there are many varnishes that can be used, they are very versatile products.😊 It's just a matter of testing with the colorants or pigments that give the look you want.

[@MrsKateT]

Thank you for the beautiful video Nadia! I am a novice stained glass window painter and have quite a few of the vitrail paints, which I love, but they are around £5 to £8 in the UK. However, you reminded me that I had some resin pigments that I wasn’t using, so I tried with the acrylic varnish but they separated (water?), however they seem to work fine in the Vitrail Lightening Medium, so now I have a bunch of new colours (subject to testing). Your creativity is inspiring and infectious, I went straight into my craft room after watching you and started my experiments 😂 x

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰That's amazing Kate! There are so many formulas of resin pigments - if yours works with the vitrail lightening medium, that means yours is solvent based, where the dyes I used are water based as is the varnish I use. Best of luck! I hope you have great success with your experiments!

Those are beautiful designs. I love the stained glass look for sun catchers. Vitrail is a great paint for glass. We used to mix our own paint in the stained glass studio where I worked, it wasn’t a simple process. I would’ve preferred working with Vitrail. There’s another brand called Primary elements, arte-pigments by Colourarte. They have mica’s for both paint and resin. Their paint mica can also be mixed with dura-clear and their resin mica is designed to basically ‘melt’ into the resin. So you don’t have any unmixed mica issues. They’re not cheap either but, they are really vibrant, beautiful and easy to work with. Their mica that is designed for paint (Primary elements) doesn’t mix well with resin tho.. I discovered that in the middle of a project.😂 I haven’t tried mixing their resin mica with dura-clear yet. I think your ready to paint sun catchers is a great idea! I’ll have to check them out for girls night.😊

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

That's so interesting, I haven't heard of those before. I love the quality of the pebeo vitrail paints, such a pretty finish. A girl's night would be perfect for these!💕

Love this idea of a suncatcher, just wondering if you could use UV Resin on it instead of the gloss glass paint. Thank you for sharing xxx

[@nova7684]

Love this! Ive been glass painting for 4 years now. Pebeo products r my fav. If u use Michaels coupon u can get them for about $5.00 to $6.00 each here in Canada. Plus there is Pebeo Vitrea 160 glass paint (not the Vitrail) which is not solvent based.❤😊

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

🥰thank you,. Yes, you can get some great discounts at Michael's. I have many of the different products from Pebeo, it's almost as if I collect them lol. I prefer the vitrail over the Vitrea and Porcelaine on these stained glass pieces personally, but they can definitely work.

[@Ilovefriendsandfamily]

I would love to know how to make the blanks. Beautiful work

[@meegankainady6136]

I think Duraclear (or one of them) makes an iridescent varnish that might give the color change effect while being more transparent that would be good for the wings.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

You're right, they do. I actually have an iridescent one, maybe I'll give it a little test and see how it looks😊

I have been looking for something like this for literal ages! I loved doing the cheap kits as a kid, and wanted an adult version. My only concern (and why I am not purchasing at this time) is that there appears to be no lip around the edge. I understand the fancy border is time consuming, but in order for the paint to stay on the board. Unless I just can't see the border around them in the images. Truly, though, I LOVE these, I'll buy every single one you come out with, and possibly multiples, if I knew they had a lip/border around them (just a simple outline border is really all I want). If you're taking requests for other patterns, I need a ladybug, an owl (or three!!), a dragonfly, and various flowers. I think roses are overdone, but things like irisis, peonies, snapdragons --- OOOHH, a dragon would be great! Really, REALLy want to see where this goes!

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

I'm so happy that you like the idea and have so many great suggestions for new designs. I can add an option on the designs to add the border, but it will be with an added cost... likely $3 extra... let me know what you think, I can make the change to the website later today. 😊

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Also, just wanted to mention, that the Princess Peach piece I showed in the video also did not have a border... no issues with the paint staying on the board. But I understand your preference, so I'm happy to add the option with an extra fee

[@sherryleggett1612]

Those would be awesome with alcohol inks but they would fade in the sunlight. Definitely I would love the stencil or the pattern which could lower the price so people would likely be able to buy all three for the price of one hand painted one. I do love the prepainted outlines because I don’t have a steady enough hand to do a good job on the outline myself. On the other hand having an outline to practice on would be a good idea too.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Yes, I don't trust alcohol inks for these. I've decided to temporarily postpone the traceables for now as design theft is a big issue that I haven't decided how I want to deal with ... especially when mass manufacturers from overseas prey and steal from small designers who can't afford the lawyers' fees to go after them. So until I get that part sorted, this is the path for now. I understand it's more expensive, but I believe the end result is worth the price🥰

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

If you are in UK you can get a Vitrail discovery set for £20.. about 8 colours bottles are smaller but still last a long time.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

yes we have those here as well - I feel the colours are limited for me, that's why I mentioned the small sets have the "core colours". I'm a "I need all the colours of the rainbow and beyond" type of artist😅 But if you know for sure that you will use all the colours in the discovery set, then it's a great deal!

You could definitely use resin or uv resin if you wish to with these suncatcher pieces. My main concern is with yellowing in the sun, since sunlight accelerates the yellowing of resin. But if that's not a concern, then you can use the products you have!😊🥰

I would simply Take my window color stencils for this. I still have them.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

great idea😊

[@sandrawatchman247]

[@ivonepereira4806]

I just searched to see where you haveva tutorial with the actually oitline around the acrylic and i can't find it? How do you make the contour oon the border of the acrylic please? Thanks

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

There are many videos on my channel where I discuss the outliners - but this one may be the most helpful to you - with alternative options as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pISalqKfrMSVmKssi=b9YnRIQWjmkzvCl9

Hey there! Is it possible just to get the Designs as Downloads? I Really love them! ❤

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Hi! I'm so glad you like them💕, it's been considered and discussed, but no, they will not be available for download. Mass manufacturers overseas are ruining small artists' lives and businesses every day by stealing their work (usually stolen because it was available by download). So, as much as I would like to make my designs available by download, I am also very concerned about how to protect my art. It's already a real struggle for artists to make a living, and art theft is just making things so much worse. I hope you understand💕.

What do you use for the out lining.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

it's a type of acrylic paint

[@seriouslyreal2693]

I thought the pebeo paints had to be baked? Is that only on glass? If we purchase your ready to paint item do we have to seal it? Ty

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Some do, not the one I'm using. No, All the options I provided in this video do not need to be sealed😊

[@sindi57103]

How did you attach the plexi glass to the bee shape ?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

At the beginning of the video, I show that I'm painting the outlines of the design into the acrylic

[@justdivescotland]

What is the solid paint used to make the outlines.

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

it's a type of acrylic paint

[@justdivescotland]

Are these on glass? I'd love to buk buy some for our disabled crafting day

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

no, it's an acrylic material, I talk about it in detail in the video. If you're interested in purchasing, feel free to check out my website for all the details

[@krystenaprince5800]

What did you use to outline the design?

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

It's an acrylic outliner, I have many tutorials on here where I show it and link it 😊

[@institches-crochetbysl2096]

These are beautiful but just wondering about practicality as sun catchers with these products - do you know if the Dura Gloss varnish will crack and peel off the acrylic base over time after long term sun exposure? Also, curious if the Pebeo acrylic outline product can withstand heat from the sun? There are stained glass look paint products available and wondering if those would do better with respect to sun exposure? Just curious😊

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Hello! Here's info that I found from the brands' websites when I was ensuring the quality for the suncatchers. For the Varnish: "Brush-on, non-yellowing, polyurethane varnishes that forms a tough, flexible, clear finish that dries quickly. Can be used on most hard craft surfaces, both interior and exterior." For the Outliner: "...essential products for creating magnificent stained glass windows and glass decorations..." and "...offers excellent lightfastness, guaranteeing the durability of your creations over time. Your works will retain their brilliance and vibrant colours, even when exposed to daylight." Hope this helps😊

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

Of course, there may be extreme circumstances, especially with temperatures escalating in places like Arizona, but we can only go by what the manufacturer's say the products can do and/or were made for, and be reasonable in our expectations. Plus both of these brands are reputable brands that have been around a while, so I'm trusting they know their product's capabilities.

[@institches-crochetbysl2096]

Thank you for such a quick response, I appreciate it! I was just curious because varnish can sometimes crack and peel when left in direct sunlight over time. This is such a great idea, especially being able to bypass resin and get a similar looking result. Thanks again.

[@serahall4838]

Does any of it need to be baked? I thought the outline stuff needed baking to be set? Is this safe for outdoor use when not baked? Thank you x

[@LiaDiaDesigns]

No, none of the products I'm using need to be baked. I know the ones you're thinking of, these are different. 😊

[@serahall4838]

Which is the one you use for the outline? Thank you for your fast reply. Just found your videos today. Looking forward to watching more x
