Off to a good start. I was correct that it would kick my ass but I did successfully run for the first mile straight
@pinksphinx.art carved me a little korok with a leather leaf mask for my birthday and it's so sweet and she even carved him a little ass
Though right now I've been reading this book, which is nonfiction, but it's been interesting so far and I just had to get it for my bookshelf which is very slowly being filled out
Finally finished foiling all the pieces for my current stained glass project! Work has been crazy busy and I haven't had a lot of time to work on this but I want to get it done soon #stainedglass
Took a big day trip today to Lake Michigan and explored Holland! Saw a lot of wildlife there
Gotcha okay! I've been doing something kind of similar, but with 3D-printed pieces since we already have a 3D printer. And then just glue-sticking them to the glass
Now that I'm reactivated I can share one of the new recent stained glass pieces I did for a family friend! It's a cockatoo of theirs named Taz! I made it for them as a gift and they loved it.
The final piece I made during this class! It was a lot of fun, and it felt a little like I was speedrunning because I've never made an entire piece in one single session before. Thanks to @a2artcenter.bsky.social! #stainedglass
The project is done! For a fourth project in total, I'm very happy with how this turned out. I'm having a lot of fun with it and I'm looking forward to doing more! #stainedglass
A couple more WIP photos before I post the results in the next reply. Here it is soldered before the washing, you can see all the flux and gunk on it. After soldering, you give it a really good wash, then apply the black patina to turn the silvery solder lines a dark black color.
All pieces are now foiled! This part of the process involved taping thin copper foil around the sides of every piece of glass. This copper edging is what will be soldered to stick the pieces to one another
Finally done grinding! 😩 My back is killing me. I need a standing desk or platform or something
The process of grinding each piece so that they start fitting together as perfectly as possible like a puzzle is tedious and hard on the back, but satisfying once each piece is done
Current progress on my next stained glass project, which is gonna be a yellow rose
