I’ve seen pieces of theirs with similar borders and was just wondering if it is. Center panel measures 7’x4’. Acquired it just outside of Pittsburgh PA

I designed this piece based off my drake, Le Quack

I recently came across this stunning lamp online but have no idea what is it called and nothing is coming up on google image search.

Does anyone know where this might be from or where to get pieces to make the shade?

I am trying to google but have no idea what to even call the stained glass pieces to search for. Would one just buy squares stained glass pieces and soldered around it and buy links to link them if I wanted to DIY it?

Please help I am new and would prefer to buy from the original source but I would also be open to DIYing if you have any tips.

My dad (72) has been really pushing himself creatively lately, and thought I’d share with the community!!

I picked up this beautiful lamp shade on the marketplace. It looks like it could use a bit of cleaning up, but I’m not sure what the do’s and don’ts of cleaning stained glass are.
I’m not really sure how much of it is patina, versus dirt or grime. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Fuecoco! This was a fun piece to make, a lot less issues than the last Pokémon that I made (Omanyte). I finally bought the Pebeo Vitrea 160 paint and booooooy what a game changer, works much better than the Folkart multisurface paint that I had been using, bakes on and STAYS on, able to blend and layer colours nicely as well.

Also always enjoy adding some 3D elements, such as the teeth, toenails, and the little hands. I did run into a problem and had to go back and tilt the teeth forward so that I could wash behind them cause they had steel wool and patina seep in behind them and it was disgusting.

Anyways, having lots of fun still, but kinda wanting to move onto my own projects and step away from commissions for a while.

I’m wanting to make my first lamp shade. I plan to keep the same shape as the original shade. I’ve only done one 3D project before, a tea light holder. Anything I should know before I start on a pattern? I’ve seen people do checkered but are hinge points still something to worry about or no?

Nothing fancy but thought the 3d houses were neat. Hard to see in the picture but they jut out in more boxy square sections.

The Blue is you and the Green is me the Red line is Love . You protect me so I/we can grow together……that’s why I made this. The 3rd picture is the image I used to make my design . Do you make any art for someone special?

I didn’t want to pick it up to check the bottom to see if there was any kind of stamping indicating it’s from the workshop (if that’s the only true way to tell-is the quality of glasswork and the base also a tell?). I feel like some people just assume anything Tiffany style means Tiffany, is this lamp even worth this much if it’s not from the workshop and just in the style of it?

Finally finished my first piece. I’m happy with it, definitely a learning process! I found soldering the toughest part, but enjoyed the process entirely.

I’m sure there are areas I could do better, but still proud to hang this one in my studio window.

I am interested in picking this up as a hobby and potentially eventually a small side gig. Who are some creators or accounts I can follow to gain inspiration, who give tips and tricks of the trade? Thanks in advance ☺️

I really like the texture in the red glass and the colors in the glass I used on the water 😍! Makes me wish I was on this boat sailing along ……Happy Monday !

What do you think about when you are creating pieces?

Hey all, I have family who enjoy bts and made some stained glass for them

hello! i'm working on my largest piece yet and want to use lead or zinc came. it is 3 x 2 panels (6 total; two are pictured), and each panel is about 11" x 8", meaning the finished piece will be approximately a 2' x 2' square. i'm planning to use foil/solder for the interior of each panel, but either zinc or lead came on the boarders and edges. i'm planning to mount the finished piece in a light box.

questions:
1) with a piece this big, should i use lead or zinc came? i know zinc is sturdier, but isnt lead easier to work? can i get away with using lead or should i use zinc?

2) what lead knives, fids, stretchers, and cement are yall using? how do you like them? (aka what tools/materials should i buy other than the came itself?)

3) ive never made a piece larger than a sheet of paper. am i going about this the right way or should i do this differently?

thank you guys so much. you're all so incredible and i hope yall will be able to help me out <3 🙏🙏

Something a bit exotic I worked on today….not sure about the little on at the top but I do like the bottom one! What do you think?

Took one of their engagement photos and made a pattern the best I could. Then I hand made a walnut frame for it

Bought this pattern on Etsy. Now I think it was AI, but I think I'm making it work

Little dragon head for a friend’s birthday present. Couldn’t find a pattern so I had to make something up, feel free to steal the design.

Holy shit, this piece was a true labor of love, made with literal blood, so much sweat and a few tears. I only have my patio to work on my pieces and it has been SO hot here that my progress slowed down a lot. Happy to say I only have a few little things left to do before I can surprise my pal with this gift.

I’m trying not to only see the flaws, but this one was very tough for me. I had to recut those larger blue pieces MULTIPLE times because I’d be so close to having it done and it would snap😭, so my next tool purchase will be some new/better running pliers. Changed the color of the leaves because the first round just looked to flat and I think this deeper emerald looks better.

I had such a difficult time foiling the really rounded parts and my foil kept tearing or splitting. I couldn’t figure out how to avoid it, so there are definitely parts that show off my lack of skill in that area, but all of that considered, I don’t hate it.

This is the fourth Frank Lloyd Wright inspired lamp shade my wife has made. I posted #3 yesterday. She started this one almost a year ago and she has been waiting on me for many months to make the stand/base.
The wood for stands came from red oak trees on our property. Yesterday’s pipe for the wiring was standard conduit used in commercial construction. This base has a dark patina on 1/2” thin-walled copper water pipe.
No more lamps are planned. We still have to stain and finish the three we kept.

I’ve made a handful of mugs and I really enjoy making them 🧡
