Start-to-finish process of patterning, cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, and adding patina to a simple iris window hanging for my mom <3. Love this purple glass.

Saw this at Early Owego this weekend. Checked the bottom and it had a hologram stamp, so it is Corningware from sometime between 1972 and 1979 (assumedly in 1976). Does anyone know what G.M.S. is? I think it's so cool that they used to do commemorative styles for local companies.

I really struggled to pattern this window. The dimensions were just so weird. (68cm by 46cm) I think this will look good. Vaguely Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, with some Art Nouveau elements. Planning on using some glass from the Tiffany Lagoon Dreams pack I got for free from Delphi with my last order (INSANE sale). Contemplating getting some opaque pink/magenta instead of using this clear one, but I haven't decided yet. Lmk what you think!

Hi! Some of you may have seen my WIP post with this piece of yellow glass last week. (close up on the second slide) The shop owner I rent studio space from took it back from me yesterday because it's "too pretty" to be used in a project like this. Personal thoughts on that aside, I built the whole project around the specific characteristics of this glass and would like to source my own. She will not tell me where she got it or who her supplier is, just that they're in Westchester NY/in the Poughkeepsie area. All pieces of glass from this supplier are kind of thick and have these funky curvy edges like this one. If anyone knows who makes them or where I could source a replacement, please let me know!!

Starting in on my 2nd project ever with this gorgeous piece of yellow glass. It's kind of funky so I'm a little nervous to cut it but I think it'll be really nice for what I'm using here (the body of a Caribbean reef squid) (WIP on second slide)
Yellow = squid body, Blue = water around it, White = border, Pink = eyes/details.

Hi! I'm pretty new to stained glass, but I love making my own patterns. I love art deco/nouveau designs, and I'm making this to be a roughly 20"x12" window for one of my (vertical) skylights. I've made up two versions, but I'm not super happy with either of them. The second one will have leaf segmentation like the first; I'm more concerned with dividing up the clear portion of the window.

Both options seem to produce some pretty gnarly little pieces, and I was wondering if y'all had any design recommendations to alleviate. I think the second one is better but still not perfect.

Any advice appreciated. ☺️

Got chatting with the Vestal museum staff on Saturday and got roped into expanding their telecommunications exhibit. 😅. Highly recommend, they've got some original telegraphs and a phone booth. Along with a metric f**kton of arrowheads. If anyone knows the exact construction date of that tower, lmk! I did some digging in the property records and didn't find much, so I just gave a range because it was on the 1970 map and it was not on the 1960 version.

Long Lines inspired stained glass lamp I made last weekend.
Panel 1: the Warsaw Long-Lines site.
Panel 2: stairs down to the main bunker entrance, inspired by one of the larger sites still used by AT&T (some artistic liberties were taken alright)
Panel 3: The inside of the bunker. The top layer is the outside with the cinderblock building and the legs of the tower. The middle is the generators, and the bottom is an empty server room with the signature blue pillars. This panel was not based on any specific site, more a collection of visuals I felt captured the inside of the bunkers without being too geometrically complex.
Panel 4: Indian Point Power plant, specifically from the angle you see it driving into Buchanan from the Bear Mountain Pass. My grandfather worked there as a steamfitter.

This project took me approximately 40 hours of labor to complete and I love it very much. I hope you guys too! I apologize if any of the parts are historically inaccurate, some concessions were made to the medium and time constraints.

I do take commissions for panels/windows/lamps (answering the question from my progress pics of this project). If you want the patterns to make something with them or your own, DM me and I will happily send them to you for free :)

This took way to long lol. I also have panes of the inside of the bunker with the generators and rows of erie blue columns, and the staircase down (with some artisitc liberties). :)

Most of the things that sit on my desk (not usually in that position). I'm really stoked about the barite chalcedony, that's my newest edition. Most purchased at shows, the brachiopod, bivalve, and herkimer diamonds I found myself.
