Painting Candleholder ''Golden Autumn''

So, autumn came with its riot of colors, which I really want to capture — for example, to create a candleholder.
Let's call it "Golden Autumn".
What it will take: a certain amount of time, a little patience and boundless imagination.
As well as:
- actually, the object of painting is a small round glass vase (diameter about 10 cm);
- stained glass paints Idea Vetro of autumn shades
- decor contours for glass of the same manufacturer (gold and bronze),
- Creartec frost effect glass paint (gold);
- palette for mixing paints and several thin synthetic brushes;
- glue for temporary gluing (I have 3M) and a piece of film (or file);
- auxiliary materials: alcohol, Idea Vetro solvent, a piece of washcloth, cotton pads and sticks, toothpicks, paper knife.

Proceed.
Degrease the surface of the glass.

Draw on paper all kinds of leaves or find on the Internet and print. Cut out, sprinkle a little glue on the file (so that the leaves are not demolished), put the leaves on the file and sprinkle them with glue.

Remove the leaves from the file and tightly glue on the vase, as you like.

Squeeze out a little paint with the effect of frost on a piece of washcloth and apply it to the surface of the vase.

After the paint dries, carefully remove the leaves, helping yourself with a paper knife.

Remove traces of glue with alcohol and cotton swabs.

We trace the leaves with the contour of bronze color (keep the nose above the glass at an angle, without touching the surface). It does not matter if the loop went a little bit not perfect - correct lines with a toothpick. If some did not work at all – you need to let them dry, then they could be easily removed.

After complete drying of the contour, cut with a knife and hook those areas that would like to be replaced, draw them again.

And now we're getting somewhere

Pour into the palette a little of stained glass paints and begin to quickly fill the leaves, trying not to leave gaps with the contour.

Dry.

The same contour draws veins on the leaves (as prompted by nature and fantasy), golden contour draws points on the edge of the neck of the candlestick; dry.

And.… here it is, our golden autumn – light a candle and admire :)
