Step 2 of the Spn stained glass window and a question ...

[tripperfunster]

Most of the glass is cut and I even PAINTED SOME OF IT!! Man, it was really hard to work with! You basically have to paint everything all in one layer, because it looks all streaky and weird if you go back over it again.

Here's the un-fired glass pieces:


Those little yellow banana looking things are going to be Cas' halo. It extends past his little skinny frame, so it ended up being like 8 pieces. These painted pieces will now get fired in a kiln, and the paint powder will fuse with the glass. Next step will be to paint them again, with a water wash to make the shading. This coat was just the bold, black lines.

Now the question … at the bottom of the panel, there is going to be three 2 inch circles, plus two half circles. The pattern is here if you'd like to see. The bottom's not well drawn in yet, because I didn't have the little bevel things, so I didn't draw then in completely. Anyhoo, I was thinking of painting on the bevels too, but I"m not quite sure what to put.

My thoughts are: The anti-posession tattoo that the boys have,
The angel banishment sigil,
The demon killing knife,
A raven
The impala (hard!!!)
Dean's necklace

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

As a funny little aside: The place where I buy my glass, and where I took this stuff to get fired is owned by a very religious couple. I was DREADING having them freak out because I'd painted a pentacle on the large circle. Lucky for me, they took one look at all the pieces and said "Hey! Looks great!" *phew*

first of all, this is going to be amazing when you're done. the painting already looks fabulous.

the front of the impala might fit in a circle, as if she was driving into the frame but not completely. (that makes sense, right?) so you'd see enough to recognize her. altho i don't know if it would look off-balance compared to the other two circles, which i'm guessing are going to have symbols completely inside the frame. maybe something to represent her, like the little plastic army men or something. she's such a constant on the show and in the boys' lives, it seems wrong to leave her out. plus, as i was never a big fan of all the angels and demons and end-of-the-world biblical stuff, the metallicar is a nice reminder that there's other aspects to the show.

actually now that i look at the pencil design again i think the impala might work in one of the corners on the bottom, kind of pulling into the picture from outside the frame. maybe.

then the other circles could have the tattoo and dean's amulet, and i like kalime80's idea of balancing the colt with the demon-killing knife.

I do like the idea of the impala, but I"ll just have to see if it will fit, and/or if I can draw it small enough to fit in a 2" circle. Sadly, the sigils make a bit more sense, as they're mostly round.
