Painting and Frosting a Glass Block?

I am painting glass blocks for Christmas gifts. I want to paint a picture and frost the block. Do I frost first and then paint? Or paint the picture and then frost over the whole block? I have seen where they frost over vinyl, but I am not sure about over a painted picture. Thanks.

Paint first, then frost. A store like Michael's will have the supplies you need.

According to all the tutorials about glass block painting, you'll need to paint your design first using glass paint. Afterwards, when he paint is dry you'll spray this with your frosting to seal the paint.

I just read this fantastic PDF file on glass block painting, and I'm sure this would come in very handy for you. It can be downloaded here: www.misstutu.com/.../secrets-to-glass-block-decorating...
