Got a smaller grinder bit to get the rounded corners of the cloud and very happy how it turned out. Definitely some intresting challenges with it

I recently got back into stained glass! I'm having a hard time getting clean edges. Wouldn't it be good if I learned how to use lead came for the edges?

A little poppy flower thermostat cover in paduak wood.

I’m going to drill some large holes in the bottom to let air flow in to make sure it’s not throwing off the thermostat gauge, as well as buy a thermometer to check. We will see!

Hi everyone! This is my first stained glass it was so much fun to do the entire process. I don't have a glass grinder yet but defenitly found out why it is a must have, the sides are grinded with a diamond handpad.

Soldering was awesome and I can't wait for my skills to grow. The stained glass community is amazing, with all the content on youtube and here on reddit there is so much to learn from you all. Thanks guys!

My next goal is to solder better and to get the outer edges to be more raised and with a grinder I hope to make the pieces more straight.

Pretty stoked with outcome of this lil simple Polaroid frame ⭐️ designed pattern myself and slowly but surely getting better with the soldering iron ✨

Picked this kit up on clearance and just finished it today, hence the polish I didn’t fully remove before photographing -.-
I feel like there’s room for improvement on my solder but at the same time I’m really impressed with what I was able to do on my first attempt.
I’ll be starting my second piece next week, so any tips/tricks are appreciated!

My second stained glass piece! Pattern is from Dessins de Vitrerie. on antiquepatternlibrary.com. Cat for scale in second picture 😂

I prepped a whole bunch of these triangle things that I saw a lot of people making last year. However, it’s been a year and I can’t remember what the heck they are and I of course haven’t seen any yet this year.
Do you just set them on your windowsill? Did I put the gem low enough? What do you call these?
I feel really silly making something I don’t fully even know what it is, but I had 3 prepped so figured I’d give it a go lol

This is my 5th piece and I’m improving each time though still very much a beginner.

I'm working on a Justin Behnke piece. Heron By The Sea. Using 7/32 foil on most but was wondering if it would look funny if I used 3/16 on the beak, feet and possibly the seagulls. It's 12.5 X 17.5. Thank you.

I’m working on this 24” x 30” piece and I’m wondering where I would need reinforcements in it. I also want to add a zinc frame which I’ve never done before so if anyone can give me any tips with adding that and also the handy hangers I bought to go in the frame to hang the piece up!

Also ignore the missing pieces lol I need to recut them

Here is the other abstract Swan By Hilma Klint. I switched the blue around but only because I cut it out perfect first time and decided I’m not wasting that crazy cut! Hope you like it as much I enjoyed making it 🤗

first time making a heavy hanging piece and i’d love some advice !! i’m not sure where would be best to attach my hanging loops, i may have made a mistake soldering the front and wish i had imbedded the wire between the pieces.

any recommendations on where i should attach my wire loops/ what would help it be the most structurally stable?

any opinions on if i should hang it straight or maybe an angle would look cooler?

i would also love any comments/ advice about my pattern!! i attached a picture leaf that inspired it lol

!!for reference this piece is roughly 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide

The video quality wasn't the best so here's two photos

Pricing stained glass pieces comes up a lot, so here's a free calculator that works out what a piece cost to make and/or what to charge for it.

It's free, needs no sign-up, and works on phones.

Enter what was paid for glass, foil, solder, and came, plus how much was used, and it does the math. Time, other supplies, and a profit markup can also be added to get a suggested selling price.

I love the colors in this piece not really any difficult cuts . I didn’t have the exact colors used in the original but I think it turned out rather nice ! What do you think? The 2nd photo is of the original piece of art I used as inspiration!

My fourth piece, still totally screwing the pooch on soldering and big gaps between my glass. I'm doing something very wrong during grinding. Still had fun though!

Cat was made with sandblasting.

Had to repost, the first video compressed terribly sorry
