This lesson features more pieces using variations of the techniques learned in lesson one.

Additional information on glass painting by Birthe Hattel can be obtained from her wonderful book , titled " Magic on Glass" through Backacher Books

The techniques for the following pieces are the same as those in lesson one. It's still the matte white applied very thin, and then completed with a pattern.

	Vase Matte white all over, transparent purple banding at the top and at the base. Make sure the paint is cleaned off around the base where it touches the kiln shelf, fire 022. Mix white glass paint and draw the pattern in penwork, add dots with a toothpick or the wipe out tool. Fire 022 * (Note from Marci : The directions for this vase call for using matte white over the entire vase which doesn't account for the turquoise color , so I wrote to ask Birthe whether she added color to the matte white or whether the vase was colored glass to begin with. This was her answer: "First about the vase which is an oldie from a fleamarket, not green from the start of: It is the photo that makes the green tint, but if somebody wants to add some green to the matte white, then it's showing best if the green is a dark green in a bluish shade. Do not add more a 5th part to the matte white, or the matte finish will go away." )
	Bowl Tape off where the violet meets the matte white, and the flower border. Mix the matte white and sponge it on in the lower band. Dry with a hairdryer, and make a pattern in the dry paint with a pointed stick. Paint a transparent violet under the matte white. Be careful not to spoil the matte white. Transparent green at the top. Use a banding wheel and a flat brush. Remove the tape and clean before firing to 022. Paint the same sort of small flowers as in the glass goblet ....just add an opaque orange to the colours
	Goblets Tape off the borders, and sponge the matte white at the top. Let the paint dry, evt. use a hairdryer. Make a pattern in the dry paint with a pointed stick, blow away the surplus. Paint either transparent green or a transparent bluegrey under the border, sponge the bluegrey under the foot. Fire upside down, both glasses. Mix white glasspaint, and make dots, following the pattern in the mattpaint. A pen or a toothpick is useful for dots. Dilute the white a bit with water and draw the border and the pattern at the base on the tall glass. Mix pink opaque paint and paint the lines with banding wheel, sponge the rest of the colour under the foot.
