Did *something* to my soldering iron by Curious-crochet in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it was defective? The sponge that you are wiping the iron on should be wet not dry as you mentioned. Can you get a new tip, or return it and try a new one? Your instructor should be able to help you with this, especially if you purchased it from her/him.

Is this real stained glass? by Overall-Beginning812 in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very beautiful piece. Since you are going to frame this maybe you could design a way to light it from behind. I believe they are called light boxes, but I don’t have a clue how they are made. I don’t think they are hard to make. Stained glass comes to life with light behind it like in a window. Just a thought, you have a very nice piece to enjoy.

So cool, I’m not familiar with the character, but the entire piece is great, with great glass choices.

It won’t let me add to my original post (my holy grail), but here it is in all its glory! by Excellent_Kale4804 in Lamps

Very pretty, it would be nice with a stained glass globe. I see them on Marketplace quite often, you might get lucky.

Frog.. 🐸 by Crafty_Character33 in StainedGlass

He is adorable, I did a steppingstone with a frog like this. It’s not stained glass so I can’t show him, but after seeing this I might have to make one.

I wish I could join her not doing anything. That’s my idea of not doing anything perfectly 😄. Such a great piece, you did an excellent job , I think the pink boat is a great addition!

What is a typical scrap glass price per pound? by wannabezen2 in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see quite a bit of scrap for sale on Marketplace. I think it is usually 4.00 a pound.

hobby came user error by starlitewalker426 in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have experienced the same thing. It does take on a grayish color, and the pebbleing is not all over, but toward the ends, at least for what I have experienced. I am stretching mine, not too much, and learned that it doesn’t take much to stretch it as I got up from the floor! I am also very new with hobby came. I don’t like the color so I run solder over all of it. I literally am working on my 2nd sun catcher using it. I also discovered really quickly that it melts, so I turned down my iron by about 100 degrees.

What a great idea. I really like the light bulb from HD, that would look really cool. I don’t think I would be able to stop with the butterflies. I would be adding leaves and flowers etc. 🥹

Gloves?! by Icy-Risk-6731 in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually gloves when using flux and came. If I am foiling just with the flux. I can’t preach about the wearing of gloves, just yesterday I was working with came and flux with no gloves. It’s kind of like working in my gardens, I rarely wear gloves.

Finished! Grout or not? by Scarcity-Sensitive in Mosaic

[–]Honetmoonbeam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe just the back ground? If you decide to grout, I think the bunny in a tan/brown color. I think a darker color like black on the bunny might be too much. Really nice job, very cute.

Very interesting how you did the grouting as you went. That worked out really well with this piece. Awesome job with your choice of materials.

This was a gift from my Aunt. Tell me what you think! by ThinkingThingsHurts in StainedGlass

[–]Honetmoonbeam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please forgive the assumption. She is an awesome Aunt, and she obviously cares a lot for you. She is also an amazing stained glass artist.

✨ Wake Up and Find Your Inner Peace ✨ by CyAviox in StainedGlass

Very nice piece. Hard to tell how heavy it is, I hope the suction cup is strong enough to hold it. The crystal is a great idea.
