Handmade Chandelier

I always wanted one of those tiny chandeliers but as yet have never come across one on my vintage hunts so I make them using wire and a few glass droplets.

Even harder to find are the coloured droplets.

So I experimented with glass paint. I found the colours basic and quite dark, so I mixed them, here I mixed green with blue, then added white spirit (like you would when adding water to watercolours) till I achieved a watery turquoise.

I purchased the primary colours:- blue, red and yellow, you can then mix any colour you want.

You can still wash the droplets in soapy water and the paint won't wash off.
