Es una composición de color y forma muy bonita siento que tiene mucho equilibrio y eso me relaja .muchas gracias....

[@antoinettelotz1173]

Beautiful!

[@antoinettelotz1173]

Do you sell them?

[@bridget2962]

Beautiful! That seems like it’s a lot of work

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thank you! It is - lots of steps to the process.

[@ianwestwood2991]

Hi Samantha, I really appreciate the accuracy, attention to detail and quality of all your work. I am sure it takes more time than is apparent from the videos. As a novice I can only struve to achieve a similar level. One challenge I have had is finding pens that provide a good line when tracing patterns and that do not wash off when grinding. Can you recommend pens for this use? Thank you.

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Hi! Thank you so much - this is what I use, and it stays on while grinding. amzn.to/3YPs8re

[@sharoncarughi9859]

Thanks

[@kforster1960]

wundervoll 👍👍

[@tunefulcathodic]

amazing work!

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thank you so much!

[@tunefulcathodic]

@@SamanthaAshleyGlass all your patterns are "simple" and yet so beautiful and the perfect combinations of colors. i love it

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thanks again, there's definitely beauty in simplicity - and choosing the colorway for my pieces is one of my favorite steps of the process!

[@me_92other42]

VERY NICE.

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thanks!

[@lindadurst2290]

Very nice, I wonder how well it holds up over time in wind.

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thank you! And not sure, that's why I recommended everyone who bought them to hang them indoors. 😉 I wouldn't consider these "wind chimes." Better to be safe than sorry.

[@tanyanelson3167]

Where can I find a pattern for this? Want to try out stained glass for the first time and this would be beautiful

[@kristycannon7923]

Do you sell your patterns? I think alot of folks would buy them! You're super talented!

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Aw thanks! I'm actually planning to start selling my patterns soon. I like to get my use out of the design first - if that makes sense.

[@theresevarney4715]

Hi Sam, Do you use your thumb when you cut? Is it for directing the cutter or for pressure? Thanks 😊

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Hi! Yes, I use my thumb to guide the cutter. The cutter head on the Toyo pistol grip cutter pivots, so I like to help move it along in the direction I need.

[@kathymanzo4061]

I really enjoyed your video, very well filmed and very good instructions too! Question, where did you purchase the vice for stretching the hobby came? And, are you wearing a heat proof glove when soldering? Thank you

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Thank you so much! I got the lead vice at a local stained glass shop (you should be able to find one at any online stained glass shop). When I'm soldering and will be holding a hot piece, I put on a heat resistant glove that's actually made for hair styling tools.

[@sharoncarughi9859]

Does the beetle bits come with that sliding straight edge cutter. I am looking at the pics on Delphi and I don’t see the slider

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

It depends which kit you buy. If you're on Delphi, you want the "complete beetle bits start-up system"

[@Snowisper]

Can you add links to where you purchase your hobby came from, the lead vice, the chains you use for hanging, as well as the polish? Thanks!

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

Hi! I buy all of my supplies from a ton of different places, but you can find just about everything on delphiglass.com or etsy.

[@janerobo5911]

What are the lead nippers called? Do you have a favourite brand?

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

They're actually just wire cutters that I got from Harbor Freight, lol. I don't do a lot of lead work, except for the occasional framing with hobby came, so a cheap pair of wire cutters serves my needs.

[@sharoncarughi9859]

What cutting system r u using

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

I use the beetle bits system.

[@debikutzer2774]

I noticed you have a sal block. That's not recommended for the hakko irons.

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

You are correct. I still use it though, I've been using it with this iron for four years without any issues.

[@user-iy7ti1bs1v]

Do you have classes

[@SamanthaAshleyGlass]

I do not
