Beautiful Linda ! What a rewarding hobby that must be.

I especially like the art nouveau suncatcher, although they are all lovely.

tile mosaic vs stained glass

Well I think it's because tile and stained glass can both be used in mosaics, and maybe there just wasn't a real need for 2 different forums, because this one was soooo slow for so long. Someday when it picks up, there might one for each. Which on were you looking for here? Silvamae....That birdhouse is the bomb!!!!!!!!!! Haziemoon

Thank you, should have said I had forgotton the right steps, this is how I ment to do it, mark pattern on back of glass, useing a paint pen, let dry, mix glue with a little water so its thin enough to paint with, add food coloring a few drops at a time till you get the color you like, you can add more as you are painting, dont over mix the color, add more water as the paint thickens, paint on the same side as you marked your pattern let dry laying flat, I did three coats letting each dry between coats , dry overnight the longer the better (Thats how I messed this up ) mix glue with water to thin so its easy to spread, go over the whole glass, on the painted side, with a very soft brush, be carefull when going over the painted parts, have a peice of regular tissue paper ready that you have crushed up in your hands, the more you crush the paper the better it will look, thats how you get the texture, open paper up and carefully start at one side of the window and lay the paper pressing lightly with your finger tips as you go, dont raise the paper back up as it will pull the paint,and tear the paper, mix up more glue and dap on another coat on top of the tissue paper, be carefull as the paper will tear so easy, only dap on the glue useing a full brush full, lay flat till dry. if I was useing the paint extender with craft paints, I would spray on a sealer frist before adding the tissue paper, I do all the steps on one side so the other can be cleaned. on the one pictured I did the paint pattern on the other side, fliped it over and started painting LOL! oddie

Here's how I understand it. Thinset is used as adhesive for outdoor projects, for example, patio tables and birdbaths. It can be used to adhere glass to anything, as long as the light is not going to shine through. It will not work for GOG if you want the light to shine through the glass. For GOG where you want the light to shine through, then GE Silicone II Clear for windows and doors, or MAC glue, are the two best choices, as Kat said.

Wow, what a beautiful mailbox! If I were the mailman I would be so careful when I placed the mail in that -- It is gorgeous. This could translate to making beautiful business card holders and tri-fold brochure holders for the reception areas of businesses. I have never seen such a lovely mailbox!

Thanks everyone. The hummingbird feeder class has been really popular, and we start the fountain class at the end of the month.

I actually did send a stained glass hummingbird feeder to Beverly in a swap a while back. I will get cracking on something for the next one! (Sheesh, I gotta bribe people to ask to be my partner! LOL)

Linda, I am so impressed by your talent. Stained glass is not that easy. It's on my list of things to learn someday. Wonderful patterns and I love all of them! I'm so inspired!

You do nice work. I especially like the art nouveau piece.

We've invested in a few pieces over the years. Love the way they make a window come alive.
