The Olde Abbey has a roof!!

Work on the Olde Abbey has been slow, but tonight we found time to paint window surrounds and wood stain the roof shingles. All the roof needs now is a bit of moss and the roof will be done. Next, I have to paint the stained glass to go in the windows!

  5. It's looking really lovely, great warm and aged colours too! :o)

    Please don't make the mistake I did when I painted my stain glass windows for my Edwardian House door and porch windows. I put the glass on paper and for some unknown reason (heat?!), most of the paint come off onto the paper (it was all completely dry.) and I will have to start again. :o(

    Can't wait to see the roof finished! :o)

  6. Hi Michele,
    Thanks for the tip, I will be careful. I have made stained glass once before and it turned out ok, but I am not totaly confident at it. I want to use real liquid lead for the outline, but I havn't tracked any down yet at a reasonable price, so I may have to stick with normal glass paint liner. I will post pics of my attempts or disasters!! when I manage to get an evening free to start!
