I remember M, she had a mad partner who made a hat out of pea pods, it was brilliant!

I love painted glass so might have a go at this myself. I'd definitely need some sort of transfer though as I can't even draw matchstick men!

we used to sell the whole range of glass and cerimic paints in the shop we had so we became quite proficent at it as we were demonstrating at shows nd in workshops as well.
You can get paints that you can bake on ant they become wash proof, the one we sold was by Pebeo and call vitrial 160, as for the patterns, we used to have traced drawings and then put them inside the glass and gently inflate a ballon inside to hold it securely to the glass, worked for us.
