It will look fantastic after it's 'quilted'! But I also love it the way it is! & you get to look out at the scenery!

Great idea, can't wait to see some color on it.

Keep us informed. I've been trying to get my nerve up to do that to an ugly window for years!

I think the paint is called "Gallery Glass". The faux leading is same brand/manufacturer - it comes in strips that have sticky backs and you just stick 'em on and trim with an Exacto blade. Fortunately it's repositionable too, I had to move a few lines after I stood back and realized I was making it wonky! Then you take "liquid leading" (also same brand) and dab it into the joints to hide all the little gaps.

Thanks Sewnoma for the info.

Well coloring it in is proving to be a bit more challenging!

I put a dark blue color up first. Went great except I discovered a paintbrush is the last tool to use for this. Just squirt it on and then use a toothpick or something like that to sort of scribble the paint around to fill in any gaps. Looks gorgeous.

Then I moved on to light blue...urgh. Light blue is much thinner for some reason, so it drips down if I put it on thick. If I put it on thin, when you stand back you can see through it too easily in spots and it looks all blotchy. So I stopped to let it all dry overnight, and tonight I'll see how well it works to put a second coat on. It dries to a sort of rubbery finish so I'm not at all sure how this is going to work out with a 2nd layer but we'll see!

It'd be so much easier if I could work flat, but I can't really tip this wall onto its side!

What a great idea! Anxious to see the finish!

Nice idea and please be sure to post the finished project.
