Stained Glass Castiel

Yay done! And just in time. Tomorrow is the last day to enter it in the show.

A couple of big fails, though. I PUT HIS HEAD ON BACKWARDS! Derp. Not a huge deal, but generally, the paint faces IN (meaning you paint on the front of the glass.) For whatever reason, I didn't realize it was backwards until I was done and took this photo.

Second fail, my cat/bird/feather thing did NOT WORK OUT at all. I tried fusing them onto a sheet of clear glass, and the entire thing pretty much melted/exploded in my kiln. I hope it didn't wreck anything. I have to wait until it's cooled down enough to remove it and assess the damage. *sigh*

That came out incredible (despite head issues.... ha.) I actually really like how you angled the blue in the background, it looks like it really gives it that sense of motion and reinforces castiel's expression.

I hope your kiln is okay!!

Thanks. I thought the angled lines almost looked like rain. I always struggle with where to put the break lines in the background, where it will make the most easy cuts but also not detract from the foreground.

I actually dug around in the drawers in my house to find a protractor, so that the lines were all the same angle! Go me! usually I'm too lazy to bother. :)
