Wonderful work Lynn!! I can already see that your frogs are going to love it! I like your choice of plants too....very nice!

Was it hard working with spray paint? I've never worked with spray paint before, but it would be fun to give it a try!

Just a quick question....for the background, can you use acrylic paint instead of spray paint?? Thanks!! It looks SOOO great!

Hi Justine,
I did use a type of acrylic paint. I brushed, dabbed, swirled, swiped etc : "Martha Stewart -Crafts paints. (satin). -cures in 21 days and is dishwasher safe". I painted on the outside glass of the enclosure!

YES, I would have to say that it does matter.
I don't think regular acrylic paint will cure permanently on glass.
I think it would scratch off.
But, I'm not a paint expert.

? Sorry, I don't know , as I have not tried either.
I guess you could purchase a small pc of glass and experiment ?
