Step 3 of Spn stained glass

[tripperfunster]

Most of my painted stuff fired okay, except the large red circle that I'd painted and then scratched out the devil's trap on. It was supposed to be a bit of a focal point in the window, but I found out (rather belatedly) that red glass often doesn't fire well. It's basically a big black circle now. ;) They gave me the option of buying some OMG expensive antique glass that tends to fire better, but yeah … $50 circle is just not gonna happen.

I'll just use amber instead. Little bits of the "Non timebo mala" bubbled a bit, and part of Sam's hair is a bit off, but over-all, aside from the red/now black circle, it turned out pretty good for my first go.

Here's all of the pieces together. I picked up the round bevels today, so I could finally cut the glass to go around them.





Next step is to paint the big devil's trap and small bevels, then paint the shading on the boys and their clothes.


I am excite!

I'm really impressed. Shame about the red circle, but it seems you're adaptable!

It IS a shame! I had painted the circle very dark, and then had scratched off the paint so that the pentacle showed through. Except not, obviously.

Yeah, I have no idea how other people function if they're unable to roll with the punches!
