Ooof, just made a resolution to not buy any glass/supplies I don't specifically need for something for the next several months...only for someone who is stopping the art to put up their entire stash of glass and supplies up on marketplace for $1000...

do I have that kind of money right now? no. Is that incredibly incredibly cheap for what she has? yes. 😭

#chatting #stained glass #literally piles of bevels still in original packaging #and all the tools you would ever need #would love her worktable #but definitely don't have the space for it #course #all is a moot point #cause it is a 45min drive away #and not sure if I could talk my brother into driving me there #ignore my rambling

Playing around with making some flower stakes- pretty happy with this first one but think going to have to make a trip to the store for a thicker stem.

#stained glass #finished #flowers #plant stakes #3d projects #3d #it supports the flower but a bit too easy to bend

Outside the irises might be just poking up, but here's one always in bloom!

Everyone cross your fingers and hope nothing else breaks!

Tonight's cutting we have the piece on the left which looks like a pain but isn't too bad due to the glass, and then the pieces on the right which look like a pain to cut and ended up even worse due to the glass XD

#stained glass #in progress pics #cutting #hopefully setting up the grinder tomorrow

How about some more Zelda stained glass flowers??

I never know if I should show pieces back lit or front lit.

Still *shocked* that none of the flower petals broke during soldering. 🙏🏻 😮‍💨

#other's glass #those are gorgeous! #and the outer petals must have been nerve wracking

My last post about stained glass people really liked so here's some simple pieces I've been working on as well that I finished this morning. They're all done now as you can see on the left.

right picture is me getting ready to solder the piece this morning :)

I can take photos of them in the light as well if anyone's interested in seeing that.

So true, and looking at the end result it definitely makes a difference!

Carefully making a paper puzzle to turn into glass 😄

Definitely been there- some of the pieces on my cherry tree I was debating if they were worth cutting or just making them into a thicker solder line XD

#chatting #was so worried the solder would just bridge over and lots of fussy #grinding and foiling #would have been pointless

Guess who made a lamp!

The other project last night was sorting through reds trying to find colors that were both the right shade, and had enough glass for all the pieces

#stained glass #in progress pics #glass sorting #this is six of the eight colors I pulled out #but was able to get it down to just the two I needed in the end #and with only one nick #yay #the start of the #wise logo project

This week I got the choosing glass and cutting part of the work! It is so hard to resist all the real pretty and blingy glasses but at 240€/sqm Bullseye is out of my budget. I splurged a bit on those unique pieces of antique glass but even that is "only" 130€/sqm. And I bought two pieces from classmates who had them lying around :D

The plum purple looks almost black without light, and it's going to be the background, the colour of the fan itself. It's Corella glass. The patterned pink, purple and red glasses are going to be the lotus flower. Mostly antique glass but the purple piece is from Armstrong Glass and not from out school storage originally, classmate bought it herself from somewhere else. The lilac solid colour is actually Bullseye but I've had that piece for 2 years so it's not a current purchase and thus I can get away with it~ And then the yellow-orange is Chinese glass and it's going to be the tips of the fan.

#other's glass #the struggle of glass buying is real #that looks like it is going to be awesome!
