Introduction: Glass is a non-absorbent painting support which does not allow paint to easily adhere to it - apart from through the paint's own drying process. For this reason the outlines of a subject painted on glass need to be simplified when applied to an extremely smooth glass surface. Simplifying a subject does not necessarily detract from the end result after the painting is completed and the final result can often have an appearance similar to that of naive art in relation to composition and form and a certain number of other details.

How do you know you have bought a genuinely Limited Edition? Until a stringent form of regulation is agreed by all nations, you will have to rely on the honesty of the artist and/or the publisher. (This is one reason why the highly principled artist is often the publisher as well.) It is a fair bet, though. No artist lightly risks his/her reputation.

A browse on the Internet today finds a number of sites advertising original Chinese art for sale, and available via online ordering. They offer works of art that are one-off and not copied, and generally retail at much more expensive prices.

Stained glass windows are mostly found in churches and cathedrals although some have found its way to public buildings, academic institutions and even to private homes. A few, however, are found in Jewish synagogues and Moslem mosques. Stained glass windows are favoured by ecclesiastical and religious institutions probably because of the calming and hallowed effect it gives out from the controlled colourful light and reflections filtering into the inside of the building, instead of the glary, somewhat offensive effect of bright light coming through clear glass windows.

Quilling is a beautiful craft that is believed to have been developed to replace the more expensive metal filigree by French and Italian nuns serving poorer parishes during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The craft which uses varying widths of paper strips to create coils with a needle, quilling tool or fingers, next shaping the coils and then either applying the shapes to a background thus creating filigree like 2 dimensional forms or to each other creating freestanding 3 dimensional forms. Quilling, who's grace and beauty is seldom matched by other art forms, survives in traditional as well as modern and abstract applications.
