That's a wrap on the latest 3 flower panels. As always, I'd love to know your favourite!

I just wanted to share my solution I came up with for people that may not have the luxury of having a designated studio space such as myself. I rent a 2 bedroom apartment, and my 2nd bedroom is my craft room but also the room I keep cat trees and the litter boxes in. I use a plastic greenhouse that zips shut as my cutting and grinding area to keep the glass shards contained so my cats don't get glass in their paws. I hope this inspires other people that may otherwise be deterred from this art form because of its potential harm to pets in a small space. Current work in progress as tax to show that pretty things can be made in a small, crappy apartment!

Spider was modified from an Anna Croyle book pattern! Super happy with how this turned out.

For Christmas this year my sister surprised me with this original stained glass piece. Inspired by my smiski obsession, Texas Tech 👆🏼, my pug, and of course the Sunday Series Secret.

Who's that Pokémon?

I made a Psyduck in Stained Glass using Copperfoil technique from the design of u/TheLittleGlassRat

My sister is a super-did-the-eras-tour-twice-fan and every girl deserves her dream house 🏠💖

Made by me but based on a similar pattern floating about and only burnt one finger making it ❤️‍🔥

Not mad about how it turned out in the end! Sorry for the bad photo, the reflections are a bit intense in some spots 😅

(Yes I put mayo on hotdogs)

This is the 5th thing I have made from start to finish by myself. All of the red parts came from the same piece of glass. I am still working on improving my cutting and soldering skills (progress photos for reference - my grinder is putting in a lot of work!) I thought I would share since this was my first goal of something I wanted to be able to make for myself, and I read a lot of tips in this sub along the way.

I know we all have our tool set and working methods, but I thought I'd share my favourite tool for manipulating glass and lead, getting a paint pen spot out of texture, lots of things really.

A wooden handle metal spike, glass cutter for scale.

Got it from a friend who bought two. love it!

Do you have a fav tool for those tricky points?

At Christmas time, my partner’s Grandma gave me a wonderful, thoughtful gift of stained glass supplies she found at an estate sale. A new grinder, a small amount of fun clear class, and even a new Hakko soldering iron plus other things. I wasn’t even sure she KNEW that I did stained glass, and I was so touched she saw these materials and thought of me. I’m a very intense gift giver, but I feel like most of the time the gifts I received aren’t… “thoughtful”, just kind of generic. So I was deeply touched to be “seen” by her gift, so I wanted to make something to say thank you. I’m using some of the glass and tools to make her a thank you bouquet for Spring!

Anyone have any information on this? Crack is on the window itself not on the stained glass. Value?

Hey all! My father made stained glass stuff for pretty much my entire life growing up. I'm in my mid 30s now, he approaching 80, and about 3 years ago he asked me if I wanted all of his stuff since he doesn't use it anymore. I said yeah, the wife and I bought our first home, and I've finally gotten around to organizing the garage to the point that I can have a workspace. A few weekends ago he drove up to visit and spend the weekend teaching me. We got as far as cutting them all out. Last weekend I went and recut the really bad pieces and last night I just finished foiling them all.

We've had a distant relationship over the years and this is probably the last thing he'll ever teach me and is the only thing we've ever made together so I'd really like it to turn out well. I know it won't be professional quality since it's my first project but it's more sentimental and I want to say I gave it my all.

Thanks a ton!
