13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate forms a portion of an article of decorative houseware.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the article of decorative houseware is selected from vases, picture frames, figurines, mirrors, jewelry boxes, tiles, soap dishes, soap dispensers, tooth brush holders, lamps, ceramic switch plate covers, and urns.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate forms a portion of a ceramic tile.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the functional monomer is selected from acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate, acetoacetoxy ethyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy propyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy butyl acrylate and combinations thereof.
17. A method of forming a craft coating on a substrate, the method comprising:
applying a coating composition comprising a functional monomer to an unprimed substrate to form a craft coating on the unprimed substrate,
wherein the functional monomer comprises an acetoacetoxy functionality and a (meth)acrylate functionality,
wherein the unprimed substrate is selected from glass and ceramic,
and wherein the coating composition further comprises a diluent selected from water, glycols, and combinations thereof; and,
at least partially curing the craft coating.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein at least partially curing the craft coating is in ambient air.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein at least partially curing the craft coating in ambient air comprises exposing the craft coating to ambient air for a period of time from about 1 hour to about 2 hours.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein at least partially curing the craft coating in ambient air comprises exposing the craft coating to ambient air for a period of time from about 17 days to about 25 days.
21. The method of claim 17 , wherein at least partially curing the craft coating further comprises heating the craft coating.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein heating occurs in a temperature range of about 300° F. to about 400° F.
23. The method of claim 21 , wherein heating occurs in a range of about 20 minutes to about 40 minutes.
24. The method of claim 17 , wherein the unprimed substrate forms a portion of an article of kitchenware.
25. The method of claim 24 , wherein the article of kitchenware is selected from bowls, plates, cups, saucers, glasses, trays, platters, pitchers, pans, dishes, shakers, tureens, creamers, pots, boats, ramekins, mugs, decanters, flutes, goblets, and snifters.
26. The method of claim 17 , wherein the unprimed substrate forms a portion of an article of decorative houseware.
27. The method of claim 26 , wherein the article of decorative houseware is selected from vases, picture frames, figurines, mirrors, jewelry boxes, tiles, soap dishes, soap dispensers, tooth brush holders, lamps, ceramic switch plate covers, and urns.
28. The method of claim 17 , wherein the unprimed substrate forms a portion of a ceramic tile.
29. The method of claim 17 , wherein the functional monomer is selected from acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate, acetoacetoxy ethyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy propyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy butyl acrylate and combinations thereof.
30. A method of forming a craft coating on a substrate comprising:
providing an unprimed substrate selected from glass and ceramic, wherein the unprimed substrate forms a portion of an article selected from kitchenwares, decorative housewares, ceramic tiles, and windows;
applying a water-based coating composition comprising an acetoacetoxy functional monomer to the unprimed substrate to form a craft coating on the unprimed substrate, wherein the acetoacetoxy functional monomer is selected from acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate, acetoacetoxy ethyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy propyl acrylate, acetoacetoxy butyl acrylate and combinations thereof; and,
