Stained glass idea

[Patrick Long]

I'm not so worried about the snake part, as most likely it will be many small pieces. Stained glass can be done with curves and circles, it just takes skill, patience and a lot of time.

My girlfriend has been doing glasswork for 10+ years, I know how challenging it can be!

Good luck!!!!!

Awesome addition!!! The water element not only balances the very cool idea of Connie's but also balances out the elements in the picture and cools it down some. Really nice!!
Okay, so now the two of you need to come out to the ranch when we have the castle finished and put your touches on it!!

Thanks lady!

I'm defentlly in! Connie!?!?

Laura you freakin read my mind!!! I was just thinking about how to put that down, and girl you got it!

Sweeeet! Let's go to Vegas on the way to see Starmom, and put that mind reading to the test!

Seriously... glad you liked it!

Pretty Cool Stuff, I like it.

Weird though, this weekend I picked up a ton of stain glass supplies for $50, friend of the family is moving and I believe their father was very into it before he passed on. I've wanted to get back into it but sheets of glass are so expensive. I learned when I was in elementary school and I can't wait to get my copper tape, flux, and solder groove on again.

I was thinking of trying to make a pattern out of a macro head shot of a snake; but thats probably really hard for my first project. Maybe I'll try to re-do my bell pepper from 3rd grade

What a nice 1800 post Rich. We can start out swapping ideas for stain glass, I'm still deciding if I want to start with this one, or cut my teeth on another idea I had. I haven't done stained glass in 5 years... hopefully it'll come back smoothly.

(has it really been 5 years since highschool? *sigh*)

Woohoo 1802

I'll never forget the big stained glass piece we did as kids in school. It was a huge Nostradamus face with him holding a crystal ball; it was awesome for a bunch of 3rd graders and still hangs over the main doors of my elementary school.

We'll swap patterns in our cheesy glory

Oh hon....just wait until you're 25+ years out of high school..... life feels really different when you start thinking in terms of decades instead of years....

AWEsome idea for stained glass, by the way! And love Laura's addition! I'd pay money for it!
