  • Creating a round medallion stained glass Dragonfly with Celtic inspirations. The wings and the backing to the rope are iridescent glass which gives the piece a real dynamic aspect. The wooden frame is an 8-layer lamination of African Mahogany, Red Cedar and Yellow Cedar and hung using 1/8" leather cording.

    I love how your light table is high and that you don't have to bend over your glass as you cut. What a smart idea!! How long have you been doing stained glass?

    • @woodenglassart2113
      @woodenglassart2113  3 дні тому

      Yes, I like the height of the light table. Though sometimes it's too high for the darker pieces when I want to look straight down on them. Self taught working with glass starting in 2011 building little crafty things and the last 5 years really honing the skill into artist outlet.

      Thank you for the comments and the complement. I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed watching the video. Hope it inspires you in your work.
      The only advise I can give is "practice practice practice , always push your limits and don't be afraid of failing". You will find yourself improving with each and every project. I look back on some of my early projects and I can see the progression and so will you.
      Yes I made the light box as well.

    Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful piece of art. And that wooden frame just sets it off perfectly.
    Can I please ask what white powder you used to clean flux?

    • @woodenglassart2113
      @woodenglassart2113  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for responding and the complement. Glad to hear people are enjoying it.
      Its called "Whiting Powder" and is composed of 100% calcium carbonate. Its used as a cleaning agent to remove excess flux, oil, cement, and other residue from stained glass projects. Cleans up and absorbs putty from leaded glass panels. As its also abrasive, its good for remove the numbered ink marks on the glass.

    Why did you use whiting on a copper foil piece? I thought you only did that when mudding came.

    • @woodenglassart2113
      @woodenglassart2113  8 місяців тому +1

      I use whiting powder on most of my projects; foil or came. Its a gentle abrasive and is great with removing ink marks on the glass and great at cleaning excess flux.
