PEACOCK-A STAINED GLASS

                      One morning my friend walked in  with a small piece of leftover glass in her hand...

                      She said she wanted me to do something creative on it -and she wanted to
                      collect it when she was going home back after her shopping spree...and she
                      wanted something simple and cute as it was meant to be a gift to her cousin...

                      I was wondering what to churn out in such a short notice...

                      First I thought of doing a Reverse glass painting,but I knew it will
                      take more time to dry up...

                      So I thought ,a Stained glass painting will fit the bill perfectly well...

                      I bought out my glass painting paints and liners and cleaning materials...

                      And browsed through my design file...

                       Then I came up with this sleek peacock with minimal number of lines
                       and a few colors and very little shadings...

                       I slipped the design sheet under the glass and nozzled out the black
                       glass liner in a matter of minutes...

                       Now , it had to dry up...so I left it under the fan and went for a quick cup of coffee...

                       The glass liner had dried up by the time I finished the drink...

                       after some minimal cleaning,I started filling the colors one by one...

                        I just stuck to cool colors like shades of blues and greens to suit the peacock theme
                        and added a dash of orange and yellow to make the picture stand out...

                       And the coloring job was over within 10 minutes... and it looked stunning...

                       I was pleased with the outcome and happily I let it to dry...

                       And when my friend  was back,she was too thrilled to see this strikingly pretty
                       peacock....and immediately framed it up and gift wrapped it ...

                        And she thanked me profusely next day  and told me the gift -The Peacock
                        was the Star of the evening....

                        And I was glad I had clicked it before it flew away from my hands...
