So people always ask how one goes about making stained glass, what's the process.
I will be going over this in the following 🧵
I don't think I have any one project fully documented, so this may be a mixture of several.

That's a very good point. I actually entirely forgot to mention texture in that list. Damn I wish I could edit.

And I am only slightly joking. I dont think I've ever made something from start to finish without cutting myself at least once. Glass do be sharp.

Oh! I forgot to mention one aspect!
Every piece you do requires a blood sacrifice. Sometimes its more, sometimes its less, but every project demands blood.
Make sure to observe the ritual properly and you'll get a nice piece.

Honestly you break plenty of pieces even with experience. Glass is finicky and sometimes internal discontinuties just mess it up.
I shattered a deep curve that left me cursing this weekend cause I had very little spare.

Ya might be. Anyone learning this will probably quickly figure out not to waste so much I imagine, once it hits their pocket books.

Right? It's not even that it's a funny marble pattern where that spot is somehow optimal to your vision. I can understand and have done that before, but this? Glass is far too expensive to waste.

Oh ya, wanna add to this, often times when I'm picking glass, I'll end up considering one that hadnt been a part of my original vision, but is in my stock, and I handn't thought about. This is most often the case for backgrounds.

If you're gonna vinyl cut it, at some point you have do it illustrator/inkscape to have the machine able to cut it. But you can sketch and mess with it wherever until then.
If you're gonna do paper templates and hand cut, you never need to touch it. You just need special template scissors

Now all that's left is to clean it, hang it, and take pictures.
Or if you wanna be extra fancy, you can inset it into a wooden frame, for that extra touch.

You might wonder how silver metal is turned into a nice black or copper color.
That's the final step. Clean off all that awful flux.
Spray or scrub (with gloves) copper or black patina onto the lead. This will change its color. If you go copper, you may want to seal it, do it doesn't tarnish.
