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.

Right here! )

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 really wanted to try stained glass where you literally stain the glass like the faces that are painted in church windows and such. You actually use ground up glass powder, paint it on, wipe it selectively off then fire it in a kiln to fuse the 'paint' right on there. *wibble*

I also wanted to re-do my Castiel glass window, with something less 18hour rushed so I came up with this design.

I have no idea if I will have any skills with painting glass. But I"m just dying to try! Stay tuned.
Sorry for the shitty picture, this is the pattern on my dining room table.
