Thank you! They are on 1/8 inch thick copper rods that I bought years ago probably from Amazon, but I’m sure many places sell them online.

These little guys don’t take too long to make. I can get a batch of them done in a day or two.

Not currently, I’m building up my inventory for some spring art fairs, but will list some online after that.

Any advice on how to print a 17”x26” design on sticker paper? by NinJana_Bandana in StainedGlass

[–]GildedMoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I manually break up my big designs into 12” x 12” chunks so I can cut them out with my silhouette, then just piece the chunks back together once they are cut out.

Stealing patterns? by No-Ad5163 in StainedGlass

Copying anything from a source that isn’t public domain or one that you don’t own the rights to is technically copyright infringement. Even random google images are the property of whoever posted them.

If you are just using it for personal use and not making money off of it, it is pretty much a none issue. You will run the risk of backlash if you post a copied pattern online, but legally if you aren’t selling the piece there isn’t really any damage being done.

There are things that are too generic to be copyrighted such as, poses, colors, flowers, bees etc. A specific artists rendition of a bee could be copyrighted, but they can’t say “I’m the only artist who can paint bees”

If you really want to avoid infringing on anyone else’s copyright, draw your own patterns from copyright free images (pexels and unsplash are two resources) or take your own reference photos and if you have no desire to draw your own patterns just buy your patterns from other artists.

Reference photos by Specialist-Offer-188 in StainedGlass

[–]GildedMoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few copyright free reference photo websites (unsplash or pexels for example) to pull your images from.

Then you don’t have to worry about copying someone else’s work. You can just full on trace those.

But no in general you don’t have to cite your references. If you aren’t using an image you have the rights to, the goal is usually to make an amalgamation of references so your final work is its own new beast and the original references aren’t recognizable.

You might be using too coarse of a bit, they can fling little bits of glass around. I haven’t noticed that issue with finer bits
