I had made this....


It's square just couldn't hold it up and take the pic right....

Soldering, is fun. Neatness and perfection be damned! I like all the globbed up metal. That was so FUN! many 1sts for me, I cut all that FREEHAND wow! I've only ever used a straight edge so WOW. I used groziers (I want those!) I used a grinder (I need one!) I foiled (cool!) I soldered (cooler!!) I burned someone elses dining room table! LOL no kidding! I am just running on overload thinking of all the things I could foil and solder together!!!! What a great day!!!! hee heeeee!!!!

    I don't believe it - you're making it UP.

    Oh, NT, how cool is that!! Fantastic! I know what you mean about all the "1sts"....I just went through that too. And of course, spent a fortune on all my new tools. I think I was most impressed with the running pliers.

    Are the outside edges just foiled and soldered, or did you use came on the outside? Great piece. Congratulations!!!

    Amazing huh!!! yep I got there at 10 this morning and left at 3 with that thang completed! She was really great, no pinning, no great fitting, lots of tips on dealing with wider spacing. She has a real rustic style of thicker soldering, but she successful sells all the time. I really like her style when I saw it, this non picky method was just perfect for me

    Just foiled Lyndalu, she showed me what channeled came is though

    NT, nice job! Looks acceptable to me - another non perfect solderer.
    Tell us about her philosophy of soldering.

    Oh cool. That looks awesome. And i'm with ya on the soldering. It all looks great. Mine soldering looks just like yours.

  • 18 years ago

    Well, that is just amazing. You did that in not even a day?
    That gives me hope that maybe I could learn to do soldering, foiling, whatever. I have a grozier, but no clue how to use it. Guess I would have to learn all that.
    Great job.

    I think it is just perfect. I wish I could do that! I still cannot cut glass. I guess I better learn to keep up, maybe Slow will teach me.LOL
    I think you have a new calling, that is beautiful. Proud of you.

    Your talents are just amazing! It is great. I just love to see the sun shining through colored glass.
    I haven't soldered glass yet.. soon though . I have some bevels to practice with.

    ( ps. I had to read the line: Just foiled Lyndalu,twice.
    I thought you foiled lyndalu!) I need my Magoo glasses and a brain sharpener.

    Very very nice....way to go Nicethyme!!!!!! Welcome to the world of stained glass. You will be so glad you stopped in!!!!

    The panel is great. I wish I could've done all that in one night on my first class!!! But then again it was a leaded stained glass class too!!!

    You will so love the grinder when you get it. It was the next best thing I bought next to my first piece of glass!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Yippppeeee!!
    I was wondering how your class went today. See! It's not that hard. You're a natural.
    Ain't soldering fun? Just watch out for them hot solder blobs....

    How exciting to learn something new and have so much fun doing it! Your window is fantastic...kinda looks Frank Lloyd Wright-ish to me! Very Nice!

  • 18 years ago

    Beautiful piece,I know the feeling I was so proud of my first piece too ,but sadly I still haven't hung it,or made more,I have shutters on everywindow so what can i do with them...bummer can't change paid too much for the shutters.so I'll have to stick with cutting my glass up.Great job Nice..I love the pattern.

    YOU DID GOOD GIRL!!! YES! It is addicting, obsessive, and incredibly fun, now back to my peacock....

  • 18 years ago

    WOW I missed this thread. NT Your stained glass is really pretty. Hard to believe it is your first. I like the solder just the way it is. Good job and pretty colors.
