I'm Carlye I am the artist/owner of Kingdom Creative Glassworks. I have a passion to create timeless and original glass art; and to encourage others to use their God-given gifts and abilities to pursue their purpose. I focus mainly on the lead came technique of stained glass. I hope this channel helps many other glass artists achieve their greatest artistic abilities by eliminating all the questions that I had as a beginner lead light artist. Enjoy!
Excellent, thank you. I'm obviously pushing way to hard looking for that sound. I was quite surprised to see you get that green glass arc cut in just one pass.😮😊😊
Am embarking on making my first stained glass lead panel and live in a country where there is very little stained glass & zero stained glass suppliers. After hours searching RU-vid tutorials - especially making lead panels, I found your videos which are brilliant, and just the info I needed to be able to make a start on the project working on my own.
first of all- thank you thank you thank you for posting this- it was incredibly helpful and pretty easy to follow. I am just curious if you or any of your viewers can speak to why you might use procreate if you're already using photoshop. I started up with Procreate- new to it. And kinda figured it was going to be all I needed. But then nearly every video I see, folks are transferring the Procreate file to another graphic design software. Why use procreate in the first place? Should I just be using Photoshop? I'm so confused about this extra step!
I like to hand draw which is why I use Procreate. Some people don’t mind drawing on photoshop or adobe illustrator. I’ve never liked it. You have to use photoshop in order to get the correct line width for the spacing between your pattern pieces for cricut. It’s not an extra step, it is a necessary one.
I remember cutting glass once. Not free hand like this, in a device made for it. And here is the thing. To be able to cut glass you have to be gifted the ability at birth, cuz when a normal person like me or you does it, we will make the exact same movent as this guy and it shatters into a million pieces. But all jokes aside cutting glass is rly hard.
I love it! I’m not really sure how much of a difference there is in splashing. I use a lot of water and don’t really pay much attention to it 😂. But i love the bits it uses and the smaller accessorie attachment for it.
I love building lead panels! I’ve been doing some foil projects lately and watching you has me anxious to get back to it. I have a transom window I’m working on next.
I have used a Toyo pistol grip for nearly 40 years now. It's the best for my hand strength and shape. I never fill it with oil. I put maybe 2 tablespoons in it. It will take a really long time to use that amount up. Textured glass is the hardest to cut. Opal is one of the easiest. Never rescore a line. You will do damage to your cutting wheel. The wheels can be replaced on the cutters but it gets costly if you don't take care of your wheel. I use the same wheel hundreds of pieces of glass. You can tell when your wheel no longer works. You will not be able to get a good clean score. Keep your cutter straight up and down. If you don't, your glass will break at an angle. You want square breaks. Just paying it forward as someone did for me.
Sooo, i have been trying to work with my procreate drawing to follow your method...but as soon as I try to work in Photoshop, it tells me I can not edit a 'Smart Object'...??? I saved as pdf, png, and jpg with same results...any attempt to fix this have been fruitless. HELP!!!!
Sounds like you need to combine all layers. You may be choosing the wrong editing tool. You can also save as PSD (photoshop doc) in procreate. It will make it really compatible.
I watched all your related material...I ended up going to rapid resizer and it was SO much easier...I was able to do everything, including sizing the lines for lead came in R.Resizer. No issues like with photoshop and tools are easier also.
it's a beautiful piece! May I ask what surface you're soldering on? Is it just plywood? I'm setting up a workspace in the basement and I wasn't sure if I should use a plywood base, or find one of those soldering mats. Thank you!
