We've begun stained glass. . . and finished it. Well, I have finished. I was so caught up in it, that I forgot to make a post! And I really am having fun, especially with this. I'll go through the process with you. First, you have to draw out your pattern, or if it's already drawn up, start drawing another one to use as a guide for your pieces of glass. Cut the second pattern out. You want to start picking out the glass you want to use. Once you have chosen, glue pieces you have cut out of your pattern next to the edge of the glass. Carefully cut it out and cut any extra pieces before you start grinding. Vaseline the paper on the pieces so they don't fly off. When you grind, keep the piece flat on the board. and grind all the way to the paper piece. Once you have done it with all the pieces, soak them in water for about ten minutes so the paper will come off easy. And that's it for now. I'll explain the rest in my next post.
