JW,

Is there a special paint one must use when doing these or will any oil or acrylic paint work?

The only think we use thats not glass, are overlays, the spooks on the bike, the rocks are overlays, the rest is stained glass. Thanks for looking.

A overlay is a strip of copper laid over the glass then solder

Yes,
We sell them,
Not many due to economy, it has come down to asking 10 dollars per hour or so,
others charge more for pattern- generated work, ours are original, and framed ready to hang, so the cost of each is based on number of pieces, mostly, requiring more time.

I am not sure if that is too much promo for this site???

JW,

No, no, that's fine. ;) If you want to post more information about selling them feel free to visit the Interchange forum (that's what it's for! :)); viewforum.php?f=76.
