I’m in gearing up for gift giving season so I have more time to create later on, so I made some more little stained glass votive lamps like the one I did here.
These were done the exact same way (engrave “lead” lines onto white acrylic, fill with black metallic embossing paste, paint color with glass paints, make a wooden box with engraved shelf with circular cutouts to hold the battery operated votive light), except I did the box part as a standard finger joint box then covered them with walnut veneer, instead of mitering the corners (too much work!).
I really like black acrylic corners…very classy!!
Mittered edges are cool and all, but I really like the veneer look and if it saves time, all the much better.
Really beautiful and inventive use of veneer. I also like the idea of using the acrylic for corners. Great use of those scraps from the sides of acrylic that always seem to be left from the first cut into a new full sized sheet.
