How easy can a reverse glass painting be on a printed glass? , Never had experienced until I found some printed glasses available in the market for use. The ready pieces where too thin so more often logistics was a night mare. Came across a contact person before 10 years who could custom print many designs but to his night mare I chose this calendar art for outline printing. This is the only glass painting that I have repeated many times side lining my thoughts of NO REPETITION POLICY. A few policies can be overruled, when it has a beautiful outcome.
