Stained Glass Iron Man complete

[tripperfunster]

When I was grinding the glass for this, I was amazed at how many little pieces of glass I managed to get in my hair and on my face and down my shirt etc. Then later, as I was looking through some boxes of stuff labeled 'Stained Glass' is found the GUARD FOR THE GRINDER. Oh yeah ... it almost makes sense now. ;p





You can't really tell from the picture, but his hair and eyebrows and goatee are done with this neat, dark striated glass in mottled shades of brown. It really looks like hair!
It is about ... 24"x18"

And yeah ... I've already started on my next one!

Wow, Tripp.... the colors are so fab!
Will you be doing a Cap one???? *bats eyelashes prettily*

*joins eyelash batting* If we all do it we might trap her with the force of the wind from our lashes until she has to comply! ;-)

LOL

Ahhhh yes, another Cap lover!!!

*renews eyelash-batting*

If Steve batted his eyelashes, she'd be powerless to resist....

[hogwartshoney.livejournal.com]

Very true !!!!!

Nah. now if TONY batted those long dark lashes, well ... Never mind. THis post is work safe. ;)

Wow, those eyelashes ...... *stares*

:D Yes, I have plans for a Cap one. But first I'm doing a sort of ... cubist Iron Man.

Really? *flails* Like my icon?

I think that's more Vorticism than Cubism, but I'm no expert. Same historical period, anyway.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! EXACTLY like your icon. i wasn't able to find a larger picture of it, so I ended up using your actual icon and blowing it up, then tracing over it.

Hopefully it looks very cool.

[dickgloucester.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew who did the art for these. But the person who made the icons doesn't know, either.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I found artist who made your other similar icons (just by googling ironman vector) but not the one that I used. I think they are different artists.

Anyhoo. Yeah, the icon was do-able for the pattern.

Oooooooo.... so there'll be an entire Iron Man series in different.... uh..... versions? <-- *doesn't know the arty term for that*

Your stained-glass Iron Man prompted me to watch the Avengers again....... and sigh dreamily at the glory that is Cap.
And Tony Stark
and Hawkeye.......
and Loki......

*goes off to daydream of stained-glass versions of all of them*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I really need to watch it again too.

I'm not sure how much of a series I"ll do. It's very time consuming (and expensive) so I don't know if I have it in my to do a window for each one. .... maybe ....
