WOW! Chris, I love those! Do you use anything to hold the glass together on the box besides the metal solder (?). Where do you buy your stained glass?
When I was a kid I helped make stained glass windows for our church - it was a fabulous project, and I always thought I'd like to work with glass. Have always been fascinated with glass blowing, and those glass balls/pendants for loved ones ashes are beautiful - it seems like it would be a fun thing to do.

Those are beautiful. I wish I had the time, patients and steady hand. I adore stained glass. Beautiful.

Very pretty Chris!
Donali, for the box, Chris use the copper foil technique, and it looks like brass came was used for the cupboard door.
Copper foil has a super stick side, so it's sort of like copper scotch tape (tm). You use a tool called a "fid" to rub the tape so it gets really stuck to the glass (or what ever you are using in your medium). After this you join the pieces together with soder (sp?) and flux using typically a sodering iron.
Chris, how do you prop your pieces together for your 3-dimentional pieces? I discovered that a box of sand works amazing for holding the different bits together. My older sister uses kitty litter, which is easier to find than pure sand. (she doens't have any cats :) )
I too would love to learn glass blowing, but well, with my history of asthma... well... never borrow trouble.

Actually the cabinet door panel is copper foil method also with a copper patina. I've been doing stained glass for about 7 yrs. now and I teach at an Adult Ed. class with a friend I met in my first SG class. I don't really remember how I put the shard box together but I think I used masking tape to hold it together and then just tack soldered the important spots.

I see you read the fine print! LOL Well I do have some restriction but not as much as when I first got my fills. So I have been stalled for quite some time. I also have not been good and sometimes eat around my band or eat soft foods so I can have more. My head is still not fixed. I will be having my 2 yr check up Nov. 14th which will include a video esophagram just to make sure everything is OK.

Here's my latest creation... :D This is why it's so hard for me to figure out what to do for the gift exchange....
Could someone with skill with pix please resize this thing? I'm clueless how to make them size right.

Seppi, I firmly believe that everyone is an artist, most people just haven't found their medium. Everyone has the ability to bring beauty into this world. (Yes, I am of the camp that says art is mostly about beauty, and bags of flaming dog pooh do not count as art. Not even performance art. :D)

Vinesqueesn - I agree that everyone has artistic talents. They just don't recognize how they use them.
Here is a pic of one of my Poetry Art Wall Exhibits. This one was for the Black & White Charity Ball for the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo.

Well it's not art, but I guess it's a craft, maybe VQ is right, a type of art, you all decide. (I warned you all that you'd be sorry if I ever figured out how to use the picture attachment thingy).
