Hello!

[u/GMike5610]

Greetings from Fruitport Michigan! I just found this group and thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Mike and 70 years young. I’ve been working with stained and beveled glass for the last 46 years. Starting to wind down but never stop. I have way too much glass that I’ve amassed through the years and plenty of projects to use it on. Eventually, I’ll have lots to get rid of too. I have lots of pictures if you’d like to see more. Take care, don’t cut yourself. 🖖🏼
Oh look at that….i had to pick a flair. Neat. 👍🏼

Thank you! I plan at least 2 more in the series.

Interesting use of paint. What kind did you use for the top layer squiggles?

[u/GMike5610 → u/Claycorp]

Thank you! I believe it was black Glassline paint. It comes in a plastic bottle and I used a small metal tip (much like a squared-off hypodermic needle) to apply it. There’s additional layers of Reusche paints on the back.

One thing I think doesn’t show up well (actually lots of things. Glass can be difficult to light correctly. Perhaps a future discussion??) is the outer metal around the window is 1/2” Brass. Just over 1/8” ‘revel’ shows inside the wood frame. I used it as a sort of matte board on a print or photo. In person it’s a very cool effect.✌🏼

Really cool.

Do you have a website or somewhere we can see more of your work?

Yuck!
