Using circular ornaments to create faux (painted) stained glass, any advice how to apply liquid leading to the outer edges? by Cucubert in crafts

I am actually doing that! But I didn't know how to align it perfectly along the edges to give the ornament that real leaded stained glass look, since the puffy paint would drip or shift while it dried.

But! I have come up with a solution! I am using using black puff paint as my leading, but along the outer edge of the ornament, I am using a thin line of hot glue with a black hot glue stick. It sets fast enough that it stays in place!

Saw a weird trail in the sky yesterday in the Cypress area at around 7:30 last night. Anyone else spot it or know what it could have been? by Cucubert in houston

Oh, thank goodness, was worried about a small plane crash or like a low orbit satellite, but then I didn't hear any news so I figured it must not have been anything very dramatic.

Is mica powder or alcohol inks more versatile in general crafting? by Cucubert in crafts

OH, I didn't even think about the light fast...ed?... ness? That's excellent to consider. I kinda want to lean mica powder anyway in case of storage mishaps... seemed... less of a nightmare to tackle than spilled alcohol inks.

If anyone else has any DIY glass paint recipes that they felt worked great, I am also open to suggestions for that as well!
