These are all gone now (given away to coworkers and friends), but this is what my kitchen cabinets used to look like:



Now they look like this:

Fantastic.

Those are so amazing! How did you mount them up there?

[Amanda]

Yeah, hugely impressed!

And I am also curious to the mounting...I would think something like Sticky-Tak would fall down pretty quickly.

I use fun tack to mount the smaller ones I do on my wall... As long as I put a blob on every corner and every five or so beads it tends to stay on. Dracula is the only one who has ever fallen, since it's fairly big, but extra fun tack did the trick and it hasn't fallen since.

And I commend you, I don't think I could ever give up one of my works to another person unless I specifically made it for them.

I pretty much cover the back with packaging tape. They still sometimes fall down during hot days (especially the large Shining Force ones) and I have to replace the tape, but for the most part, they stay up. Maybe one day I'll learn how to make my own mats and frames for them.

And I commend you, I don't think I could ever give up one of my works to another person unless I specifically made it for them.

I got sick of looking at them after a while. It's hard to give your stuff away at first, but once you get used to it, there's something kind of neat about it - it's like it takes on a life of its own. Still, there's some things I"m not sure I could give away, like my godzilla stained glass....



which isn't even very good...but it's the second stained glass thing I made and the first from my own pattern and I really put a lot of work and dedication into it.

[Amanda]

Wow, Godzilla is awesome!

I really have to commend those of you that can do several different kinds of crafts...it's a talent, for sure!

[gillianms]

Wow, those are all so incredible. I didn't think it could get better than the perler beads, then I saw the stained glass!

How did you learn stained glass? How long have you been doing it?

Thanks.

I learned stained glass about a year and a half ago by taking a class at a local stained glass shop. I believe most stained glasses places offer lessons and some rent out their workshop so you don't have to buy all the equipment even after you stop taking classes. I haven't done very much of it so far though, since it can get so expensive. I am hoping to start a new piece soon.

not to get off your original topic...
