SUNNY TENNIS MORNING

I have to say that this project was cursed from the beginning...

The pieces didn't cut as well as the all clear glass version. I had to go and get more of the lighter yellow glass because I used up all mine with terrible cutting mistakes. The copper foil I used was too wide and (I think) horsey. And lastly, once done it IMMEDIATELY fell to the floor AND BROKE! 😡

I am keeping it so that one day, when an important piece breaks I can will have this project to practice removing and replacing the broken pieces. But, right now I am ready to move onto something new and different!

Catching The Sun

This is my third cut glass project but instead of taking a full sheet of glass and cutting it up and re-soldering together, I cut each piece from a separate piece of glass and fitted them into one piece.

Not a fast craft which is FINE with me. I am really enjoying the whole process.

Second Project Done!

I am teaching myself this craft and it's definitely a challenge!!!

The first two "stained glass" pieces are in plain clear 3mm glass I got from our local hardware store to learn how to cut the glass, foil and to solder the pieces back together - it's definitely a learning process!

(This looks like it's been covered with a coat of patina but not yet. The actual piece still has the silver solder color.)

Something New!!!

I have always been in love with stained glass art. During tennis districts last summer, my bestie picked out the best B&B for us to stay and it was FULL of stained glass. Before this month, I never considered I'd one day try it. Don't ask me how this craft's path suddenly became real to me... I have NO idea. One day I found myself in a stained glass shop buying supplies and getting very excited! 😃 Who would've ThUnKeD? Now it's a whole new world!

This is my first completed piece! Done in clear glass so that if I mess up I won't be to heartbroken. In this piece, I practiced cutting glass in a straight line, copper foiling and soldering.
