I like that a lot! I'm not seeing lead or foil, so is it glued, fused...??? Inquiring minds and all that!

What kind of glue do you use to glue the glass onto glass? I really do want to try this.

Betty that is awesome work! What did you use for the frame?? I have tons of scrap from when I used to do stained glass in a professional studio. Would love to find some non traditional uses for it besides dust collection. Don;t have the patience to do foil and soldering anymore.

Well, I made the piece & I am not Betty...I am Mazda.

But the frame is just what you use for stained glass.

Hi Mazda,

You piece was very nice as well. I was looking at Bettypauze's piece too. What kind of glue are you all using?

Oh, I like your piece, Betty! I think I was the one who answered the wrong question. Anyway, like I said, I had originally planned to grout mine, but my daughter & hubby like it the way it was. I was going to grout it black (my fav color), but not grouting it was so much easier!!!

Morning,

Measured the window, 25" x 48"

the glue I used was purchased at a stained glass studio and is called:

MOSAIC for laminating glass to glass

Thanks for the info Betty. I think I have some of that. Will have to see what I can do with some of my scrap. You girls are making me anxious to do some glass work again!
