Thanks for sharing your techniques and beautiful leaf patterns. Sometimes I feel like I need four hands when attaching the jumpers. What gauge of wire did you use for the larger leaf?
I have watched this video three times in hopes that I'm not missing the answer I'm looking for... and I don't think it's in the video, so here it goes: When you're setting flowers in one section of a multiple piece project, the thickness level is different on that flower segment, correct? Is there a way you ensure that it's level with the rest of the glass? Or do you have a preference in how to solder that piece with the rest (ie raised side outward facing?). I designed a little decorative stained glass frame for flowers, but I'm a bit confused if I need to establish the clear glass over the whole piece or if it would work just to layer the floral segment. (My design currently has regular stained glass as the backing as opposed to entirely clear layers.) Thanks in advance, and thank you SO MUCH for this video. It's so helpful, and was able to use the links you offered for supplies to get myself started. x
Hi! When I do this method I only use paste flux. Liquid and gel causes leakage and condensation. Also, when you burnish your foil it needs to be done really well. I use a kitchen scraper. 👍
I camt find plain flat clear glass on Amazon, only colored and/or textured glass so I came here hoping that the glass you use would be on your list of supplies used. Could you kindly point me in the right direction for the type of glass you use for pressed flowers? Thanks!
Can you tell me what would happen if you didn’t copper tape the first level and you just put the flower in the glass and taped with one big tape what would happen do you know can you share?
I clicked on this video because those leaves are just gorgeous! Imagine how happy I was to hear the pattern for them is available!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! (And I haven't even started learning this craft yet. lol Saving it for when I have learned.)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I want to make my own glass medallions instead of bying them but they're for wearing as pendants so I don't think I can use solder that has lead in it. Any idea what I can use instead? Thanks!
Mahalo. I volunteer teaching art at a public school, and have purchased supplies to make these. You have shared really great ideas, here. Mahalo from Hawaii.
I found your video as I was attempting for about the 50th time to attack jump rings to my first heavy piece and they just keep coming off(solder melting). Thank goodness I found your several of your tips are making good results happening. (This latest only one of the three fell off). Thank so so so much!
did you glue paper on the glass for your templates? or what did you use? I am a beginner and I have been using just sharpie but it wipes off and I am having a hard time getting all my pieces to fit.
