I “made” my own frit for the background from some scraps of the dichroic glass by putting the scraps in a mason jar and shaking vigorously. The frit turned out really nice, but the remaining scraps are rendered pretty much useless after all that shaking (too many scratches). The white parts on the background are what the frit looked like prior to pouring the resin. They turned into just pretty sparkles. I’m thinking I could have used a lot more frit, but it looked pretty opaque before the resin was poured, so I was hesitant to put more on the window. We’ll see how the finished window looks tomorrow.
I made a similar window several years ago, but with grout. This is the same idea, but with resin instead of grout. Made with Spectrum Iridized blue and Dichroic glass. 30.5″ w by 27″ h. I love Dichroic glass, but it is very expensive. At approximately $3.75 per square inch, I think I have approximately 112 square inches of Dichro glass in this window.
