Stained Glass Iron Man 2

[tripperfunster]

No, not from the movie Iron Man 2!

dickgloucester has a really cool Iron Man icon and I wanted to do a window of it. She wasn't sure of the original artist, and even when I googled 'iron man cubism' or iron man vorticim I only came up with this and I don't think it's the same artist.

EDIT: Artist found! It's Liam Brazier: http://www.inprnt.com/gallery/liambrazier/

Anyhoo, I just squinted, and worked off the icon and here is the resulting window! It measures 2'x 2' and was about 160 pieces of glass. Sadly, the icon uses a lot of pinks, but they don't really exist in glass. So reds and oranges instead.



It's been grey and cloudy around here for days, so this was the best picture I could get. I'll try again if the sun ever comes out.

Oooh, very nice. Why no pinks, I wonder? You know me (or even if you don't), when something doesn't exist I have to dig and find out. I don't know if it's curiosity or pure stubornness, lol.

:D There are a FEW pinks, but they're expensive. It has to do with how the glass is fired. most 'stained' glass is infused with colour in the firing process, and pinks need multiple firings to have it show up, and the cost is much higher. (at least, that's MY understanding of it)
