Last edited Mon Jul 29, 2024, 05:07 PM - Edit history (1)
I started it in December but wasn't happy with it so it has been sitting ever since. Finally decided to just finish. Not my best piece but I love the color of the channel.


On edit: Thanks for all the wonderful positive comments!

(13,961 posts)The wife and I have been doing stained glass for 40 years now, (copper mostly} but we've never had the opportunity to do fusion. Looks like fun.

(13,961 posts)No kiln needed for this. 😁

(6,047 posts)which is way cheaper than fusing compatible glass. Unfortunately I fell in love with fusing (the classes where I used to live were way cheaper than stained glass classes - and, like a drug dealer, they got you hooked by giving you free glass!)

drmeow
(6,047 posts)so surely that @$400 offsets the $3000+ costs so far, right?

(162 posts)Wow that's really eye-catching. My wife is a gallery art director and she would certainly want to enter this into the collection.

(6,047 posts)I am hoping to eventually be able to put some stuff on display in the right place but right now I'm still just doing it as a side hobby (although an expensive one)

(91,677 posts)There's such wonderful color and texture in it. And the contrast of the reds and plums and a couple of blues, and the dotted pieces too. REALLY nice, drmeow!

(6,047 posts)I need people to tell me that because I don't always see myself as talented or artistic. I really appreciate it.
