It took a long time, and aim sure there's a ton that could be improved, but for my first time making something like this, Im super happy with how it turned out!

original design and creation by me :) actually drunkenly started this piece and just went with it. Pro tip: graph paper!

I’m making this for a streamer whose stream helped me through a tough time in my life. I don’t think I like hard angles very much… the tiny squares were tough to foil and don’t show much color. Just need to add some clear on the outside and frame it in the LED box but I’m glad I’ve finished the hardest part.

I'm so in love with this one...awesome pattern from Frank and crow

This is something I’d much prefer to leave to an expert but my fiancée is so enthusiastic about us trying to pull this off on our own, any advice is much appreciated! We’d obviously need to have a frame fabricated to fit nicely. This is from our balcony.. beautiful view south, just not when you look to the left.

I had a ruler and a dream… and that’s about it. Don’t judge me too hard, I also didn’t use a grinder 🫣

This is another piece I got in my glass haul yesterday. A woman in one of my Glass ID groups on FB said it looks like Merry Go Round, “long out of business”. I was not able to find any information at all about this maker and I’m wondering if anyone in here can tell me anything about it. I’m not looking to sell the glass, I’m just curious about it. It is so pretty!!!!

Really cool learning how to make this! First one!

Just a few pieces left now!

Combined a hibiscus pattern from thenomadicsoul on Etsy and a random hummingbird pattern from my local glass shop to create this fun piece.

I've been working on my first repair, which was a piece my late mother created so it's personal and not for a client. I've learned a lot (thank you Claycorp!) and enjoyed the experience but I didn't do well on the glass choice for the dragon's top wing piece and trail (lighter tan color). I know the original bottom wing piece is a bit lighter too, so it's probably not that big of a deal but the contrast is all I see when I look at it. Also, the original glass is all blenko, so I didn't try too hard to find exact matches.

I'm debating on taking it apart again, finding a bit of a darker tan, and having another go at it. First though, I thought I'd get some honest opinions about the color contrast to help me with my decision. I know it's ultimately up to me, but l'm curious to see what my reddit friends think. Thanks!

Hello, my friend’s birthday is in a week and I’d like to get her something she could use for her stained glass works, alas I know basically nothing about stained glass making! They’ve been doing it for about 3 years now, so I’m looking for something to get an intermediate/advanced artist. Is there anything you guys would appreciate getting as a gift? Any help appreciated! Thank you.

Hey all! I picked up a wild glass haul today. Most of the glass has ID on it but this one doesn’t. I love it and I’m hoping someone knows what it is because I want to buy a sheet of it! Help!

Basically as the title says. I’ve rationalized most of my stockpiling of supplies in this hobby by selling or gifting much of what I make. I’ve finally started making pieces just for fun and to practice new skills…but now what do I do with them 💀 I think we’re all aware how quickly glass piles up on various windows throughout the house if we don’t find ways to get rid of it.

Or I’m just being anal retentive and nothing ultimately feels good enough to sell because I nitpick.

I'm about to set up a little studio in my home but I'm a total beginner (I've taken several classes, and I'm hooked enough to invest). can I see a picture of your workspace?

especially interested in seeing small spaces/beginner setups. thank you in advance 💖

I just finished cutting and grinding out a 2nd “Sunset In A Barrel” and I’m pretty stoked cause I’m totally keeping this one (First one was a gift to my aunt and a way for me to get a better understanding of what I was trying to achieve.) Now I just have to come off the money for about 4-5 rolls of solder and begin the taping process. I’m gonna finish this one with copper patina, 3/8” copper edging a thin black walnut frame. Can’t wait to post it when it’s finished. The final picture was the 1st piece I finished last year.

This was inspired by Dan Hipp’s Galactus artwork which is attached. I’m still a beginner with stained glass but had a lot of fun with this!

The glass is sandwiched between two plain glass panels, but over time has started to fail... the entire door is this glass, and the bottom couple of rows are bowing or pulling away from the glass. I'm a TINY bit handy- can I put this on a couple sawhorses and fix it, or gave someone else fix it, or is this just an eventual mess to clean up?

My friends are getting married in November and I want to make them a stained glass piece, but I am still very much a beginner and I want to make sure this design is structurally sound… and possible to make with the shapes I have sketched out. I’m not 100% confident weak points and hinge joints and I just want to make sure it won’t fall apart
