Stained Glass

Post by wtnlvr »

I have done stained glass for many years but life has gotten in the way and I haven't done anything in several years. Now that I am settled into my new house (after almost 2 years LOL) I finally got my "studio" up and running again. Starting on a small project to get my feet wet again as it were. I have cut the glass, now it needs to be ground down and refined, then foiled and soldered together. Attached is the last project I did several years ago. My largest ever at 18 inches wide.

I love stained glass. I've seen some decals that hang in windows and they bring such wonderful lights into a room.

Oh wow. That's gorgeous.
Yet another skill I want to have & don't.

It really is very impressive. We're having a new conservatory sometime next month & I would rather like to put some stained glass & lithophanes into it at some time. Just so much to do & so little time to do it in.

Regards,

Richard.

All the pieces have been ground down to size. Now they are getting a bath and then I put the copper foil on all the pieces to get them ready to solder together.

:applesauce: That is so amazing! and beautiful! I know you said you were going to start smaller than your largest piece (18"). I don't know how to guesstimate and was wondering what the size of this one is.

This is lovely! I used to do stained glass and really enjoyed it. I got out of it because I'm so hot-natured and what was perfect for the glass made me sweat, lol.
