The bottles fired good no lost detail did not get a smooth glossy surface as with other paradise paint firing. Usually I go to 1400 with a 15 min soak only went to 1350 with a 20 min soak. I was afraid I could have a color shift on the paint. The paint was really thick on the bottle and that could be the reason why it was not a glossy smooth surface. As I told the artist, painting have texture to it and what make art glass stands out is the different texture it brings life to a dull smooth surface.

Nice work. Bottles can actually be used for artisic expression. cool.
A big part of the technique for glass painting that one needs to understand, is density of application. Too thin and it disappears. Too thick and it does the volcano thing.

Hi Tom that looks so neat....
So you slumped the bottle first and then painted it. How high a temp did you need to go with for the paints.... just wondering and how do you like this brand of paint.
