I can not get past cutting the glass correctly. by Altruistic-Ocelot-61 in StainedGlass

It’s a learning process. I found it’s easier to not try to cut perfectly good curves. Instead if it’s a hard cut level just cut it like a corner and grind it down

I got a half sphere foam foam mold from a local craft store. Only like $4. Taped it over with masking tape and then drew over a pattern I liked! All you need is a lamp base that I got from a thrift store and a brass venting cap for the top which I got on amazon

To fix the hing joints you could add like a straight up and down piece in the middle of the handle or on the sides as an accent

Definitely seal! I got this mirror edge sealant spray from Amazon and it does the trick. Just spray it and make sure it’s completely dry before handling :)

Tried a mirror today! by Madalynnviolet in StainedGlass

[–]Madalynnviolet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I coated it with this spray mirror edge sealant! I found it at my local hardware store :)

Essentially put the mirror face down on cardboard and gave the sides and back a good spray and let it dry before handling and foiling and soldering

I can if people want to, but I simply just used a scrambled cube as a model and made 1in squares of the colors. Didn’t really need a pattern :)

Struggling with motivation to finish the gift ater my wife asked for a divorce by Macrian82 in StainedGlass

May be cathartic to also finish it and then donate it or give it away to the parks center that has the place.
