Leaf Stained Glass

I was playing around with some glass bits and made these cute little fall leaves. I like them a lot! I'd like to keep experimenting to see what I can come up with. I used a rough mockup of a leaf clipart I found online (imagine me holding a piece of paper up to my laptop screen and tracing with a pencil to get the shape of a leaf.) 

Frog and Toad Stained Glass

 If you've seen the background of many of the pictures from my craft room, you've noticed the wall of books. I am a big fan of children's literature and was inspired by a childhood favorite to make this. I'm not loving it, but I kept thinking about it way too much to not at least try to make it. I think if I try it again I'll stain the solder black instead of the copper color. Lots of mistakes, but I'm still learning! 

Pug Stained Glass

 I was commissioned by my sister to make a memorial stained glass artwork of her bf's dog who sadly passed away. This was the first time I bought glass online, which was interesting and it's just as hard as buying fabric online. I don't recommend it unless you can buy one of everything! 

I didn't take pictures of the whole process, but here he is cut out. I used a leaf inspiration for the background and traced a photo of him for his fur and face. 

Here is putting it together. I engraved his name and birth/death dates on the plaque at the bottom using my glowforge. 

The color was really hard to tell, and it's overall a lot darker, even in the sunlight, than I was hoping for, but it still turned out great. I didn't take a picture before packing it up to take with me on my trip to visit!
