Love this so much!!! I always pick up a new tip with each of your videos. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Thank you so much for showing us how to make those cute little sun-catchers with pressed flowers. That will be my next project. Also, I wanted to compliment your video making skills. Everything was so clear and the close-ups are awesome. You are so talented and much appreciated.
You're welcome! And thank you for the nice compliment! 🤗
Curves are no joke! 😂great job thanks for all the tips and tricks that you share! 👍
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Your cutting/breaking skills are impeccable! Looks like you have very little grinding to do after that.
Thanks, it always depends on the glass though! Some glass breaks ridiculously easy, and there's very little clean-up, but then other glass has a mind of its own and requires a fair amount of grinding
Gorgeous piece personally I like it better without the patina. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! Idk about others but I definitely love being able to hear the sound of the glass scoring/breaking/grinding!
Me too!!
Thank you for the video.. It's a great project.
That is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this lesson!
Wow your soldering is fantastic. Love this idea thank you.
So clever ☺️
Thank you! 🤗
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULL!!you are a true artist..
Wow! This is such a cool idea! I could really run with this, as I have been saving flower petals for years ( by fall it's a little overwhelming).
Thank you!!!🌻🌈❤🍂🦃
Beautiful ❤
Wow, so pretty! You did a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 🤗
Very original!
Lovely! Thank you for showing us your technique. I really enjoyed your video!
Thank you so much! It's really nice to hear that people are enjoying any of my videos, cause I have fun making them! =)
Wow! I just simply love this.
Your instructions are so clear and very nice video! I have a couple of questions though. when you apply the Mod Podge, it is ok to use Elmer's glue or Wellbond? Is there a reason you use Mod Podge? Second, after the glue has dried, it seems you need to be vey carefu cutting the flowers between the pieces of glass. do they tend to tear or move? This is outstanding work!! Thank you.
Thanks! I just used mod podge because it's what I had on hand. Any all-purpose glue will work, as long as it dries clear (which the two you mentioned do), you can use archival glue if you want to be extra careful. I recently got Aleenes Tacky Glue to try out. You just need to be careful trimming the flowers after you glue them so they don't pop off the glass - they are fragile.
Soo pretty!!
Awesome! Could you lay the pattern on the orange glass in the pumpkin shape, and then cut it out? Like, with no spaces...one cut does one side of two pieces, for pieces 7 & 8...
Yes! Definitely could have done it that way too. I try to share as many edges as I feel comfortable with. In this case, I didn't know how this glass would break (some glass is so easy to break, and some is completely unpredictable) so I didn't want to risk breaking any tips off.
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass Excellent response! I try to do it all in one piece when I can, but there is often a casualty :p I wondered if that was a 'thing' to strive for, but you're right about the glass. Thanks again!
Love this. Do the flower and leaves stay preserved over time?
If you keep it out of the sun, the colors last for quite a while, but if you hang it in a window, they'll fade. But in the window, you mostly see the silhouette of the flowers anyways
Beautiful
Love this video! Thank you so much!!! Also, how do you press your flowers?? 🤩
I have a flower press, so I just cut the stems off the flowers and they just get pressed between cardboard and paper in this contraption.
Great tutorial! Where do you purchase the copper foil used for this piece? I can only find copper or silver back.
Thanks! I usually buy my foil from "Anything in Stained Glass"
Je vous adore😂
Whaou original.merci
Where do you get the clear glass for the top?
I loved the outcome!!! Have you tried one with sunflowers?
Thanks! And I have not, I'm thinking sunflowers might be too thick when pressed?
Such a cute project! Thanks for sharing! Can you tell me what kind of clear glass you are using? Is it clear stained glass or is it a thinner picture frame glass? Also, was wondering, how did you cut your flowers to fit each pattern piece if you glued them down to the glass first? I was interested in that part and it was skipped in the video darn it, lol! Thanks again, you're very talented! 😀
Thanks!! Lol oops, I just took an x-acto knife to cut the flowers. For this project, I just used standard clear glass that I got at the stained glass shop - you could also use thinner picture frame glass. I'm going to try using the thinner glass on my next project, cause this was a little thick.
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass I have tried picture frame glass from the dollar store before to plate butterfly wings. However, I always had trouble with the Flux seeping inbetween the glass. Started using just a minute amount of paste Flux and no water once cleaning and that did seem to help. Thanks for the exacto idea! I can see now how that would work well! 😀
Can you tell me what patina and finish you use?
What kind of glass are you using? Your soldering is incredible!
@@TheGeocampbell I don't remember what the glass is, but I do remember that it is a red striker, but it looks orange before striking, so I used it for a pumpkin
@@SamanthaAshleyGlass Thank you Samantha. Love your work!
Beautiful..you have a very good colour combination..ur work is as sweet has U
Can I buy..some of ur good work and how
Thanks..
Stay blessed
Great video but you should have latex gloves and a respirator or really good ventilation when you use patina, that stuff is gnarly.
That is a great point, thanks! I do currently wear gloves whenever I use patina, after realizing how nasty it really is! =)
Nice zoom. I can see clearly. Thanks
GIRL wear GLOVES while using patina 😭 your poor hands 🙌🏼
Don't worry, I always do now! I was careful not to touch the patina when I did this. 👍🏻
Can you tell me what patina and finish you use?
I use novacan black patina and clarity finishing compound
