This may seem like a totally off-the-wall question but has anyone out there ever experimented with using hand carved rubberstamps instead of silkscreening for multiple pieces on painting stained glass? I have a very small workspace and am looking for an alternative to the hassle and expense of silkscreening. Thanks
Rubber stamping instead of silkscreening for painted glass

I've rubber-stamped glass paint. These were large commercial rubber stamps and the paints were paints for fusing (FuseMaster Transparents.) See:

I've used rubber stamps and Paradise paints with good results.
I think the rubber stamps don't work well on glass because the glass does not absorb the paint; it just squishes out and you don't get a crisp design. I wonder if a sponge or felt type stamp might work. Good luck,
