My GOG pics

19 years ago

Hi Guys,

Here are a few pics of my gogs.

The amber coloured flower is my first ever, as you can see lots of grout leakage! But i live to learn. I tackled my bathroom window next, it turned out awesome! (I just have to do the other one now!) And my latest creation is the shabby rose, I have to work on my grout lines! Practise makes perfect I suppose!

    Renee, those are just gorgeous!!! They look like stained glass. Beautiful work; I love your designs.

    OHMYGOODNESS: Those are BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE, LOVE LOVE the amber one. Are you using a ring saw to cut your pieces? I LOVE the round shapes, and are you buying the Van Gogh glass by the sheet? Haven't seen the clear - or is that Van Gogh mirror? Your circles are PERFECT. Are the others beads? How about the orange glass in the rose? I like the texture. Wanna know what all you used, cuz I'm thinking of trying a GOG next. Beautiful work. Wanna see more.

    Quite lovely and very unusual.

    What kind of adhesive are you using?

  • 19 years ago

    I love those! You did a great job. I only tried the GOG once and the grout got under the glass, your designs have inspired me to try again!

    Very nice!!!
    That blue one really looks like a stained glass pannel.
    I've had problems with such large pieces and air bubbles.
    What adhesive are you using? and did you get a bunch of air bubbles?

    I love the use of colors and glass you have chosen. Slow said it was van gogh glass, and I've never used it but I sure want to now.Love all the circles you've used also, and the tall window has such a wonderful pattern,do share more,

    Very Awesome!! Are those crystals(round) and beads you are using?! Love the old glass you have used! So vintage!!! Yup, inspires me to do another gog soon!!! (After my peacock panel)....

    WOW! Those are beautiful. I have gog on my project list.

    I am so inspired by those beautiful panels ! DId you use GE II for glue ? How did it dry under the bigger pieces of glass ? I did a big GOG with a cut out black horse and it took the GE II about 3 months to actually dry.
    Your stuff is just awesome !!

    I can't believe the blue one isn't a stained glass panel. This sure does inspire me to try something on glass. Absolutely beautiful!

    Oh man, those are something else. Love them all. What kind of glass are you using in the first one?, it has these patterns. And yes, the blue one looks like a stained glass panel. WOW! They are all great.

    Very nice work.

    Isn't grout bleed a B!TCH?? There's nothing that deflates me faster.

    Quite a nice start to a good body of work.

    I like them all, but especially your first! I LOVE that textured clear glass in that one. I had one little scrap of it one time that I used on a single project, and have wanted more ever since, but don't know what it's called or where I got it for sure. Do you know what it is called? (I know, ANOTHER question!)

    Ronnie- is it the tapestry glass you are referring too? Its the glass around the edges on the first one.

  • 18 years ago

    Ladyronnie - the glass store I frequent usually has that glass laying around as scrap. Next time I go should I pick some up for you? They sell scrap for a dollar a pound.

    I'd be happy to do whatever we can work out.

    You can email me at mosaic(at)wi.rr.com

    Those are so gorgeous! And, I am familiar with some of that glass - it is very hard to cut with all that texture. I don't see grout creep - hey I just say that adds to the vintage look anyway! Great job (and yes, please tell us all about how you did the pieces.)

    Thanks guys for your nice comments. I will post some wip pics of my latest stuff soon.
