I just stocked up on this new paint from Folkart made for glass and ceramics... its called Folk art enamels. Joanns is having a sale 2 for $3 this week. I haven't had a chance to try it yet... cuz it works best with the brushes made for it which i ordered from artistsclub.com since joanns didn't seem to have them.

probably what the bristles are made out of... they look like just white nylon bristles... but who knows. maybe they just grip onto the paint better. (the brushes are considered 'one stroke' enamel brushes. If you're not in a hurry, ill let you know how they work on glass. I should be getting them in a couple days.
