I just subscribed! Love these little birds and the way you teach. Thank you for making videos. I’m getting a kiln in a couple of months and I can’t wait to make these!
Will you allow me to use your bird picture to advertise a class for this so I don't have to make class samples? I teach in a local community center and they would love these. Also what are the rods called?
I love these birds but I go to a studio to do my glass work and they probably won’t allow me to use a scrap piece of the rod in the kiln. Could I use a tightly rolled piece of thin fire instead? Thanks
Thanks for this really helpful video. I am new to stained glass and just attempting my first fused glass. You've answered several questions for me. Love the birds 😍
This is a great video, thank you! Would you mind putting the metal you used for the stake in a link? I'm afraid to get the wrong kind and it will melt in the kiln YIKES!
I love your sweet birds! If you cut the sharp curve in the bird's body out first there will be more glass around it to stabilize it and you will have less breakage. BTW, which enamel did you use? I got that you bought them at AAE Glass, but which ones? Thanks!
A grinder would cost at least $150 and a kiln is $1000 minimum. I would suggest taking a beginner fused glass class before attempting to make these garden stakes. I have The Grinder II and I have 2 kilns- both Jen Ken.
AAE enamel? What is the full name? I work with both coe 90 and 96. Hopefully I can buy one enamel that will work on both glass? Thanks oh and where did you get dot pen?
Could you please give some information about the tool you are using to paint the dots? The one that has a lot of what looks like little attachments on the other end. Many thanks.
I just use a small scrap piece of the stake as a placeholder while in the kiln. It will turn black and spall (black flakes) so you don't want to put your actual stake in.
