Glass of Sherry
So I am taking this project in baby steps, but over the long weekend I added a flower to the hummingbird window I’m making. I plan on adding several more flowers and a vine in stained glass before I pour the resin and add the sapphire blue mica “sky” background. I will likely move this particular flower to a corner of the window, but for now it’s hanging out near the middle.
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.
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.
