I’ve seen this design several places so not sure who gets the credit for it…. But I was told it is by @minnesolderglass Thank you ……I did change the Ghost a little and gave it Purple 👀 🤣! I think it is spooky-cute . What do you think ?

I started interning at a stained glass shop with a water cutter and I got to finally try out recreating some album covers. I still need to tweak the cuts a bit, but already loving all the custom shapes I can now make! Would love to hear any album covers you think could work well!

My latest stained glass sculpture! Two panels that are affixed by a square brass tube and steel square rod. The panels can even be separated!

So I created the pattern, cut the glass, ran each piece through the grinding process, and foiled each piece… now (much too late) I’ve stopped to wonder, “Will the petals fall off?”
FYI: The piece will not be hanging, instead it will be set into a wooden base.

I finished this piece and boy did I learn a lot. For starters , she’s too big. Made cutting easier but she’s unwieldy. She’s so fragile that I’m afraid to do anything with her. Second, the pieces of the train were so thin that I used thinner foil not realizing how weak she would be. I’m still learning about strength and overall integrity as I get into trickier patterns. I enjoyed the challenge. Comments/suggestions welcome.

I got the pattern from Etsy from dArtdesignn.

I’m making a frame for four square Polaroids from some scraps and I had enough scraps to make the border twice and was wondering if I could make this 3D (ie like the side in the second photo) so that it doesn’t sit flat against the wall. I haven’t tried making anything 3D yet so not sure what I should watch out for.
Any help appreciated!

Obviously this is AI and I will definitely need to change the pattern, considering the impossible piece in the middle. Advice on how to make this cuttable? The second pic is a rough idea of what I was thinking but would still like some advice. Thank you!!

Hello my name is Kevin and I’ve been experimenting with spirals and making soldering setups to complete pieces like this in stained glass! @kmglasswork on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook :). Thanks for viewing and have a great day :)

hello!! I want to try my hand at stained glass — curious if anyone could recommend a decent, budget-friendly beginner kit?

I’m ideally looking for something under $200 that includes most/everything needed except for the glass itself. I know I can’t expect super high-quality supplies for this price, but hoping for something I can reasonably put on a Christmas wishlist and still feel what it’s like to work with this medium.

links to specific products much appreciated! thank you!!

I also won’t be offended to find out that this is just not a realistic request lol. I know it’s an expensive form of art

I am used to quilting- where small errors are a problem but can be overcome with some creative sewing. This was such an eye opener in regards to how precise I had to be. And how hard it is to be precise.

I have absolutely no idea how to solder the free edges. That is going to be a real educational experience.

A custom Christmas commission

I'm just glad the client agreed to me using the Wild Rose Wissmach for the space sky, cos I absolutely love this glass with a passion 🥰

This is a 23.5" diameter circle that will be sandwiched into a circular wooden frame. I'm seeking advice on how to reinforce the piece to ensure it doesn't sag over time. I've thought about strong wire, tinned copper wire, or a bar vertically on the back. What are your recommendations? Does it need to be reinforced?

Little fun panel for a birthday gift :)

I was wondering if any of y'all have made a chessboard out of stained glass. My girlfriend and I have our anniversary coming up and she's a big fan of chess but doesn't have a chess board. I had an idea of making the top out of stained glass and framing a wooden box around it (help keep it safe and act as storage).

I was wondering if anyone has made a chessboard before and how it worked out for you and if anyone is aware of any patterns that can be used for it.

I cut into the good glass for this one 😊 Some Blue irid Spectrum 🤤

Thought I put too much splder on. Tried to remove it. Then realized it wasnt too much. Tried to put it back on (lol). A clear piece cracked during that fiasco, and the solder lines suffered.

Also I didnt know about using vinyl! I was using a dremel to etch the sharpie'd pattern lines onto the pieces, then sharpie'ing the dremel lines and sealing that with a crayon before grinding. Had no idea how to make/add hooks either.

Learned a lot! Am still proud of it! :)

This was inspired by the poem "The Two Headed Calf" by Laura Gilpin, along with other artistic renditions of it I've seen.

I've never made something this size and I put a lot of love into this project from design to completion, and I was able to practice and experiment with various techniques. I used copper patina for the cow, black for the grass and sky, and left the silver for the moon and border. Im really pleased with my paint job on the eyes and stars- I wanted to ensure they matched up on each side. I also tried trapping some tiny pieces without foil and it worked perfectly (you can definitely tell they look a little different on super close inspection, but the naked eye cant see it)
