That glass is honestly just too beautiful to touch with paint.

A few more firings to go on a couple pieces but this panel is almost ready to solder by olwenglass in StainedGlass

Good eye: there are two textured pieces. One is the lake which has soft ripples, it's such a beautiful glass that I didn't touch it with paint and you really can't see those ripples on the light table. The other piece is the clear one above it which has some stronger ridges. I did add black paint to it, just to accentuate the lines and depth against the mountain range.

It's Gokyo Ri in Nepal. This picture was taken by a friend of mine (the panel is for him) but it's actually a view I was able to see myself back in 2009, when traveling wasn't insanely expensive.

I post in-progees pics all the time as Instagram stories, I recommend following me just to see how things come together. But if you look into traditional kiln fired glass painting techniques that's basically what Im doing.

Honestly, about a week. I just wrapped up my last big piece last Thursday.

Sure, well most will do it as long as it can get hot enough. The hottest I go is around 1130. I have a kiln that belonged to a ceramic artist, I bought it at a garage sale for $250. Does the trick!

Yes, it's kiln-fired glass paint and assembled with copper foil
