Hmm... Looks interesting. Thanx for sharing.

Beautiful work, magnolias are some of my favorite flowers :3

May I ask what you use to cut your glass? I've inherited some stained glass from my boyfriend's late mother, and I've been meaning to try doing some stained glass pieces.

Thank you for the kind words! Magnolia's are something of a symbol of my family, and I've wanted to make this particular bit of art into a window since before I even started working in glass. It's been a wonderful experience for me putting it all together!

And let's see, as for cutting, I use a Toyo Pistol-Grip Oil Supercutter - I feel that the grip is more user-friendly and the fact that it lubricates makes for better lines overall. Amazon.com has them - http://tinyurl.com/ykfqcy5 - but I'm fairly sure most stained glass shops would have them, too. Thankfully glass cutters are cheap! I recommend trying both the pistol grip and a regular straight version, preferably a Toyo Acrylic Handle Oil Cutter, to see which works best for you personally. Aanraku makes a decent pistol grip oil cutter, too, but I don't care for the trigger - makes me feel like I'm using a watergun!

Do let me know if you have any questions about glass, I'm more than happy to answer them! Good luck with your adventure into glass - it's a wonderfully diverting hobby!

omg I'm a total sucker for this kinda stuff! Maybe sometime we can do a trade.

Ooh, I would totally be interested! I'm doing a trade with right now, going to use that to figure out how to do trades in the future. I'll pop you a note in the not-too-distant future to talk details and the like.

Awesome. =)
