Thanks every one. My stained glass is not old. I am though! All local artisan built and created by me.

@LurganIeUk

Nice! I’m sure that can be “fiddley” work that challenges your patience from time to time? How long have you been at it?

AE_Collector?

A good 35 years or more. Fiddly....yes. Avoid some challenges and do what I prefer...yes. It is easy to walk away for a few days if needed. Just as long as no flux is on the metal.

Beautiful work! Do you do custom pieces?

No custom work an no repairs. I just enjoy doing what I like and eventually someone buys it. I don't like the pressure of not satisfying a request. Does that sound reasonable??

Sounds reasonable 🙂 That allows you to keep the hobby enjoyable. I'll keep following your posts.

@LurganIeUk

Those are absolutely beautiful. You mentioned this was a hobby. How long have you been doing this? Were you self taught or were the skills from your profession transferred over to this?

Re: My Stained Glass Hobby

LurganIeUk — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 17:13:56 GMT

@JK8

Thank you. All self taught in the days before YouTube. Was not work related other than relaxing my mind to be away from work.

Thanks. Of the ones you may not like....what ones and why. I am trying to improve curb appeal.

I suspect @stevenanto MIGHT be looking at it like I am, i.e. it's not that I dislike any of them, but rather, some of them I like better than others. For instance, the one just above, titled "my latest", I really like it, especially with the few different textures of clear glass used, BUT, personally, I would find it a bit more appealing if it had more coloured glass in it.
