Bought a new house and, for the first time I’m going to be in a single place long enough that I can start really digging in on making custom decor, designed to fir the specific space, so I don’t finish it just as I need to move.
I’ve been doing fake stained glass for a while – it was one of the first things I did on my Glowforge. These decorative windows offered me an opportunity to do something relatively small and quick with max impact. I cut the PETG pieces precisely to fit, though I also cut some small wood pieces that squeeze in behind to hold them in place. This way it can be changed in just a few minutes, as I make new designs or have seasonal decor.
For anyone curious, the paint is from Pebeo, called Vitrea (which is the water based, they also have a Vitrail which is solvent based) and you can find their full line of colors on dickblick.com.
The house I moved out of was… perfect. The kitchen remodel switchplates went on just before showing. All done for someone else. Not this time. I finished 1200 square feet of walk-out basement and landscaping in the first two years, and have enjoyed it for 23. I’ve moved twice in 43 years. They will carry my carcass out of here.
COngrats on the house! It is nice to have a space you can do whatever you want with! Your designs are very nice! Love that you can change them at will! but the ones you are showing would be difficult to change. They are very fun to look at. Keep on lasering on!
I think I will NOT say it this next time, so as not to tempt fate!
