If you have the pattern you can transfer to any kind of paper, if you need to trace a pattern use tracing paper and transfer on to heavy weight paper, you can do this a couple of ways, carbon paper or once you have traced your pattern flip it over and use a soft lead pencil and scribble over your traced lines, flip it back over and lay it on your heavy weight paper, tape down and trace again, now you have your pattern on your chosen paper.
Kinda-sorta. Finely crushed glass will behave pretty much like sand. You won't get the same color though.
That depends very much on the type of wood and the make of stain. I would expect it to last at least 3 years before re-applying.
I found a website [see below] with very good information. Here it is and I hope it helps you too. It explains more than stained glass cutting.
COMMENT:
Cutting of stained glass is almost a Zen experience. You have to know if the glass is warm enough, know the proper frying bacon sound that the scoring tool makes, and trust that when you flex with your thumbs that you won't sever anything important.
When it works it feels great. When it doesn't you are left with an oddly shaped piece of pricey waste glass.
The physical parts are:
One can simply go to a number of websites and book the classes in advance, some of these websites include: Aire Castle, sglchouston (Stained Glass Learning Center in Houston) and Legacy Glass Art. One might also find classes given in local schools or workshops.
it told parts of the bible
it also showed what happened in christs life
nd it showed religious leaders in the past history
YUPPERS! and it will trap most of it but not all
2nd Answer:
Ummm . . . a glass window does not attract heat. It does not 'trap' it, either. The glass may allow heat through, or glass can heat up, itself, but then it can radiate that heat away when the air around the glass is cooler than it is. That is certainly not, "Trapping" the heat.
To illiterate people could understand their illustrated biblical scenes and figures.
Yes, but they were horribly expensive and, given the sort of lives people lived then, too easily broken. They were seldom found outside of monasteries and other religious facilities, where they were less likely to be broken.
It is documented that stained glass windows have been used in Christian Churches since the fourth century. They reached their peak in the Middle Ages, when they were used to illustrate a biblical narrative as a means of teaching and meditation means for illiterate faithful
In stained glass, they use things in normal glass but add colors and make it thinner.
I assume your on Aurora? If not then this is a general question.
The thing is Stained glass art didn't completely influence or inspire the illumination. The question is not phrased very well. I know how hard it was to find info, so I am posting this. This was my answer- what I found:
"Stained glass developed in PARALLED to manuscript illumination. The stained glass was striking and drew people's eyes-use of similar colors, drawing(shapes in the glass) and medallion frameworks were also used in manuscripts for a similar reason. Stained glass panels in churches and cathedrals often illustrated stories for a largely illiterare populace. To show those who were illiterare, or those who couldn't read very well, what was going on." -MH
Please don't completely copywrite my answer:)
Yes; it gets old and becomes less effective. It will turn your solder lines a sort of brownish black.
You can put a dash of salt in the patina to make it more abrasive AND heat water in a separate pan or glass pyrex dish putting the patina bottle with cap on NOT tight to warm the patina up before using. It helps, but is minimal.
Free Patterns for Stained Glass is a website that offers patterns. They have many different styles and designs. There are also instructions to create your own pattern if you can not find one that suits you.
The "ease" of a stained glass pattern depends on the skill of the artist. What is easy for one artist may not be easy for another. To find something within one's skill range, it is recommended to look through a pattern book.
There are several things used to hold the pieces together: cooper foil, a type of putty and lead came. Yes, it is a funny word.
