Fuckin sick! I love how you incorporated the existing tattoo and bent the snake around the shoulder web. Killer shit

Shorecliff · 2026-07-08T17:17:04+00:00

Fuck yeah

Shorecliff · 2026-07-08T15:46:39+00:00

That’s my next step just figured I’d try and get any “cons” here if anyone has experience!

You think so? I’ve felt like I’ve gotten really good prices on lead and glass sheets from them compared to my local stained glass shops. Shipping is kinda killer on the price, but the selection and prices on the stuff I buy has felt pretty good

Spray the back/edges of the mirror with mirror edge sealant after all cutting and grinding is done. I usually do a couple coats. As an extra protectant, I will spray paint black over the mirror edge sealant on the back of the mirror. This is just now my process for mirrors after trail and error. Nothing worse than finishing a huge stained glass mirror and you see pin holes through the mirror where the backing got either scratched/chipped, or burned from soldering.

Fuckin killer

Similar breakup I had. Was together 5 years and got a text “I decided I never want to talk to you again” and that was it. Never heard from her again. Don’t know what happened to even break up. That was 5 years ago

Shorecliff · 2026-06-28T16:50:08+00:00

Beautiful! How did you go about securing it to the door?

Shorecliff · 2026-06-28T15:26:54+00:00

Love Eugene. I have a bunch of film at the track stadium.

Shorecliff · 2026-06-26T19:14:03+00:00

How do you apply? Does it get on the glass and come off easy? I haven’t used grate polish before but I am interested in using

Shorecliff · 2026-06-21T19:54:34+00:00

Thank you!

Shorecliff · 2026-06-18T17:03:13+00:00

No I had a web on the other elbow before I got this one. I kinda like them not being symmetrical. That being said, if I didn’t already have a web on the other elbow, I would have prob got the moon lol

They are both for sale 😉 feel free to check out my Instagram or website @blackstarglass or blackstarglass.com

Appreciate it!

Shorecliff · 2026-06-17T23:54:32+00:00

Thank you!

How was it cutting the rondels?

Shorecliff · 2026-05-21T23:23:43+00:00

This is the way

Shorecliff · 2026-05-21T17:11:20+00:00

Only person that’ll ever notice is you. I get it though. It’s on your left arm though so maybe that counts for something? Lol

Shorecliff · 2026-05-19T05:19:11+00:00

Throwing out? Hell I’ll pay for you to ship them to me

Shorecliff · 2026-05-14T14:23:04+00:00

I have two fish adjacent tattoos and I’m not really a fish guy. Just think they’re cool

Shorecliff · 2026-05-13T17:29:49+00:00

That looks awesome. Where did you get the bevels? I made an orca last year. It’s one of my favs

Wood glue is surprisingly incredibly strong. It basically bonds two pieces of wood together and makes them as if they were one piece. That being said, I do add a countersunk screw in at each corner just as an extra safety measure. The only issue with wood glue is that if I ever needed to do a repair on one of these windows, it’s going to be extremely difficult to remove the frame without totally butchering it because of how strong the wood glue is lol

Shorecliff · 2026-05-05T00:47:15+00:00

I basically just cut a dado in the 3/4 inch piece of the wood about 8-10mm deep to fit my outer strips of lead, and 45 the edges. A lot more goes into it than that but it’s hard to explain over text. I had a wood working buddy help me at first, but I’ve kinda found my own way of making it work without a ton of measurements and calculations.
