I’ve just added the photos of the finished bigger piece. I’m both thrilled and have issues with it…but such is almost always the case with art!
I figured out that there is a randomness I cannot nail down.
Some darker colours seem more likely to bubble/separate, but other times they don’t at all.
Sometimes if you put too little it spreads itself to thin and cracks, and other times if you put a whole bunch it piles up and bubbles…but what exact amounts are “too little” or “too much” seems to vary based on the flying speed of an unladen swallow.
I think, at least with this style of faux stained glass one must accept the patterns one is given and be happy about it
*and clean the glass of your shower if you’re gonna take pictures of it!
I love this. I’m new on Glowforge, just got an Aura would love to try something like this. If you wouldn’t mine, sharing how you did this I would appreciate it. I would love to take one of my drawings and make it into stained glass as you did here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, OP means “Original Post” - the one at the top
White is the spaces that get cut out, and black outlines the parts that stay. Like a stencil, all the black parts have to touch each other so they won’t disconnect when you cut them out.
I checked out the 1st post & there’s no directions. There is a print of the octopus but no directions on how to paint the drawing with the ink. I never used alcohol in, it’s one of the only things I haven’t tried yet. If you would please send me the directions I would appreciate it.
“The piece is 8” x 11", 1/4" clear acrylic with the design cut out of 1/16" black acrylic and glued on with 3M tape, and then the paint applied to the pockets cut out of the black acrylic."
