Learning how to make stained glass windows

[Kathryn crook]

Neither did I

Got a roadkill Badger in the flower press



I get the lead from Amazon by doing surveys that pay in Amazon vouchers, just taken delivery of this lot and still got £80 left in the account So it only costs my time really.

Your stained glass windows look fantastic, Zig! It is something that I always find fascinating and interesting.

Zigs, I envy you so much for your ability to make lovely stained glass objects. I also envy all the other members who have artistic abilities and make beautiful things.
It must be so satisfying. I'll just be appreciative and enjoy all the posts of gorgeous items made by members.

These are very nice pieces. I have been wondering about learning how to do stain glass. What a beautiful craft. Is it an expensive hobby?

It's not hard to learn, there's videos on youtube that can help.

The lead costs about £10 from Amazon, then you got gas, tallow, lead solder and glass on top, so not too expensive

I've probably put this up somewhere else, but thought i'd add it to this thread as well - setting out a lager window.

Zigs, your stained glass flower is just lovely! It's a bit art deco, a bit modernistic, but totally beautiful.
(Hope your cut heals soon!)
