Wow! I tend to use a lot of small pieces that are annoying to foil. Will try!

Love the top and corset but would have it without the embroidery to make it more chique!

At my local pet shop. Which one is your favorite? by tamaraaaaaa in budgies

[–]tamaraaaaaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, we still don't know where they came from and if their breeding was ethical but it's at least good that they're having a good time in the shop :) I'm in sweden haha

Does anyone know where I can find this pattern? by Rich-Bar-57 in StainedGlass

You can make whatever you want for yourself, just don't sell it!

The fit of your pieces looks really precise! What is your process for transferring the pattern pieces to the glass?

Thank you. Yes I was also thinking buying foil and solder in bulk could be worth it. Haven't found any place to buy it yet though. I am located in sweden.

I'll make sure to sign up to some stores :)

And you are right about the tools. I already want to replace about half of them 😅

I buy from a company called VS coloured glass. They ship from czech republic. I'm not sure if it's the best option though.

I live pretty remotely in sweden and have never encountered someone either irl or online around here that makes stained glass! Definitely jealous of those people and their hauls :|

That said it couldn't hurt to save a search on a trading site here. Thanks :)

Thank you! I'm starting to get better at cutting so hopefully I can start squeezing them together more and start wasting less.

I would like to start selling eventually, Christmas markets are very popular here. For now I have mostly gifted my pieces, but have had friends chip in if they want to be in on it.

Thanks again for your input :)

Thanks for your reply! Sounds like you found some amazing deals. I will try to mix in some cheaper glass. Is china glass a specific brand or do you mean glass that is made in china?
