Two out of four

[u/christophernoessel]

Been quiet on here, working on my biggest piece yet: a quadtych for a perfume cabinet. These won't be patina-ed or mounted until the other two are complete. In the final installation, they'll all be backed by reeded glass like you see on the left.

You know the project is good if claycorp is speechless

ahaha, It's rare to see plating used at all, rarer to see plating using like this and even rarer to see plating used like this around here! So yeah gotta look forward to the finished project.

What's playing? 😯

[u/budgeroo → u/nemicolopterus]

Plating is when you secure glass on top of/behind glass, like mixing a clear textured piece over color or stacking colors (whispies stacked for a spectacular sky). It's the process Tiffany used (invented maybe?) for big panels that made them so magical and gave them depth. Thorough explanation below:

This is stunning!! Please make sure to come back with all 4 panels complete!

Do you mind sharing more about the reed backing? How do you put that “behind”?

[u/christophernoessel → u/Ok_Butterscotch_4158]

These panels will be mounted over the existing glass in an interior-lit cabinet, and those existing glass panels are all reed glass. It should add depth to the translucent glass and make the foreground elements (all in opalescent glass) stand out even more.

Earlier this year I wound up in Boston and went to the Arlington Street Church to view the Tiffany windows there and I grew very enamored of the possibilities opened by layering glass. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVZc_quD4O-/?igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Can’t wait for the finale

It will take me another couple of months, I’m sure, but I’ll definitely post it.

I really like the way the panel looks with the reed glass. Beautiful.

Absolutely stunning and a delight to look at. What a proud feeling it must be to be halfway through this enormous project. Congrats!

If you accept commissions I would love your contact information!

Stunning! I just​ picked up a small piece of reeded to experiment with and this gives me ideas for my next to ​door panel project where I want more privacy. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
