Stabs eyes with glass

[tripperfunster]

*keyboard smash*

I've finished my new pattern, and I'm (so far) happy with it, but the GORGEOUS glass I've chosen for the flames SUCKS ASS.


It's super beautiful, but cuts like shit. Some glass, you can do all sorts of crazy stuff and it cuts just fine. This stuff practically crumbles in your hands! And, of course, I need to make all sorts of curvy/wavy cuts with it.

Same goes for the really nice purple/blue I've chosen for Cas's wings. I will be grinding this shit into shape FOREVER.

I seem to remember from my stained glass course that red glass is often really crap to cut. Good luck!

I tend to work with water glass a lot (because it's cheap and pretty) and it cuts great, regardless of colour. This glass? Not so much.

The banners are going to be white, and I've never had much luck cutting white. My grinder is going to get quite a work out this time!
