spookyhurst Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My mom's making me a stain glass piece for the window in my closet (don't ask me why my closet has a window in it :dry:). However, I opted for ultra colorful and asked her to do a scarlet macaw with a blue and gold macaw :whistle:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Maybe you can tell me. Does it cost a lot of money to do stain glass? Do you need a lot of room? If you do small stuff well that take up a lot less space? Is it hard? I would love to make some of this stuff but I am real limited on space.

spookyhurst Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My mom says it is kind of expensive, and you do need a special place to do it because of all the glass chips flying around. She used to belong to a stain glass club and used their facilities, but doesn't anymore. Which I guess is why my stain glass birdies still aren't done . My dad bought her a grinder and everything so she could finish it, but I guess she's been busy with other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would love to know about the art of stained glass. I 'fake it' buy painting glass, in fact I've just done a set of plates with an African Gray in the middle.<br><br>Post edited by: Katt, at: 2007/08/01 20:54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Katt, why don't you post a picture of those plates so we all can see them, I bet they are a beautiful sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Not sure stained glass is something you should do around these birds, as I believe lead is used to hold glass. Fumes and residue on hands might be harmful. I may be wrong, forgive me if I am. I was always interested in doing it myself. I have tons of patterns for it.

Talon Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yes, Connie, the fumes would be very toxic to our birds. You really need a separate studio to do that in. But it is very beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have been making mosaics and I find you need much less space and you can still make beautiful images. And no fumes. I have just finished a seahorse with star fish. I collected old bits of roman pottery that I found in Spain to make it. I am planning to do a CAG in the same style, based on a drawing that I have now seen a couple of times. One on the members here uses it, a CAG sitting with one wing up. I better get searching for some nice gray pieces.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
