Updated Geo-Window

Here's the latest on my window. Only a little more to go and then the interminable waiting for the Weldbond to dry before I can grout . . .

    Holy dawg snot! That is a beautiful window Wench!!

    Looks great! Would love to see it with the light coming through, so we can really see the colors in the light.

    OH I agree with every one else. Your window is WONDERFUL!! I really like the use of different size squares in the different colors. It is all so interesting. So how long does well bond take to dry? Days weeks??

    It's perfect! Such nice small lines, almost don't have to grout! Beautiful!!!!
    ( weldbond is great, but can take forever to dry!)

    MW, that is just BEAUTIFUL!!! It's a piece to study on how you placed your square pieces on the angle. Very interesting.

    Chris, the drying of Weldbond depends on the humidity, amount of glue, etc.

    That is SO-O-O-O Beautiful!! What a true pleasure it has been to watch this project take shape!!

    I did the Weldbond only around the edges of the larger pieces and it's still taking FOREVER to dry.

    I have used the Mac glue for most of it and I love the way it dries clear so quickly but I hate, hate, HATE the cleanup after it's dry. It's sticky and very resistant to scraping off even with a blade.

    I emailed the person who created it and he says there is really no solvent reccomended for it. . . .hmmmm.

    I've found 91% alcohol works pretty well but it's still a pain.

    Thank you for all your kind words thus far.

    Makes me think of a modern Galastic skyscraper.Wow look at all those little pieces.Great job Wench!Do you like the Mac better than GEII ? I've never tried it but hate the mess of the GE II??????

    Wow it looks wonderful. A lot of pieces in there. I bet it weighs a ton. Are you going to take a picture of it with the light going through?

    Here's the back-lit version today. It's pretty dreary outside so it's not as brightly back-lit as I'd like, but you get the idea.

    Black grout will make all those colors pop.

    Simply gorgeous. Thank you for sharing ..

    Fantastic work wench! Gorgeous!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks for the backlit version...it really shows off the glass. I love how you used the opus circumactum for the greens (did I get that right???). I think your window is awesome Wench and I can't wait to see it grouted!

    OH it is lovely! Will be spectacular when grouted!! Yippee! I can hear the Str Trek Theme, "Wench, boldly going, where Wench has not been before!"

  • 18 years ago

    Is it "harassment" to say I'm admiring your grout lines? Incredible!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Sounds like a bad pick up line from the 70's . . .

    "great grout lines baby . . ."

  • 18 years ago

    Just realized I hadn't commented on this. WOW! What a beautiful panel. Beautiful work, as usual!!

  • 18 years ago

    Looks great backlit! It came out beautiful. Hope you can grout soon!!

    Now all the glass is in place and just waiting for it to dry.

    I have a fan on it so hopefully that will speed the process . . . . well I can hope, anyway!

    Wow, that's just gorgeous, the grout is really gonna make it all pop. Wellbond is so slow to dry. Some smaller pieces I have put in my oven on a low temperature to speed up the drying time.

    What a great window, I love the lines & colors. Beautiful work!

  • 18 years ago

    Beautimous! and I love the different directions and patterns of the tile placement. Really gives the piece flow and excitement! Bravo!

  • 18 years ago

    OH Wench. I LOVE your window. I think it shows up so pretty being back lit. I had no idea there was green in it. I still just love the way you laid down the fill in to slightly follow the curves. I think it gives the piece motion. As silly as this sounds the few glass globs look just like jewels. I REALLY LOVE the whole look of this piece.
