Finished my first transom in resin

Stained glass mounted on plain clear glass, set in resin with clear glass chips in the background. It required a lot of “tending” when I poured the resin because it had no frame to keep the resin from dripping over the sides.  Basically I had to hang around while the resin set and periodically sponge the drips off of the bottom. I watched some videos on YouTube where some people put tape on the underside and others just used a razor blade to shave the drips off after it set, but I found this to be effective, as well. Now it is installed in a transom window.

Cutting pieces for the next project

I want to revisit a “quilt of glass” piece I did with grout for some friends several years ago, but using resin instead of the grout. I like how the resin lets light through. It requires lots of squares……… This is using some Spectrum iridized blue stained glass in one of my favorite shades and some dichroic glass I have.

Getting ready to pour the background…

I filled in with blue iridized glass and colored frit for interest in the background. I used crushed rocks on the sandy beach to fill in and provide texture, then poured / spread four cups of resin over it all. After I spread the resin, I sprinkled some clear glass chips and some additional blue filler around the background. I likely could have used a bit more resin, though this is the most I’ve ever needed for a window. I’m still learning about working with the resin, as this is only my fourth window using it. Approx. 30 5/8″ W x 28″ H.
