Rainbow Dash Stained Glass Window


Twilie

Recommended Posts

My first Pony mosaic stained glass, took me over 30 hours to complete. It is based on an image by Bamboodog that I found on Deviantart

This is really pretty!  How do you make them?  You seem to be pretty skilled if you can pull off that accuracy with chunks of glass.

Thank you!  I start with a picture fame and glue the glass directly to the frame using clear silicone glue, then I take pieces of clear glass that I buy from a lady locally (about 1x1inch) and shape them to whatever shape i need with hand-held tile cutters. Then i take sand paper and smooth the edges because the cutter leaves rough edges. I print out the image that I want and glue it onto the back of the glass frame to use as a template then glue the pieces I have shaped onto the frame using the clear silicone glue. After it all dries I grout with black grout in order to make my pieces stand out. I also made a Twilight sparkle one for my boyfriend, but her purple didn't turn out as vibrant as Dashies colors :)

Neat!  I think I'm' gonna try that sometime.  Too bad I'm really not good with glass.  At all.  Ever.  Characters.  Limit.  Ponies.  Um, yeah.  Meow.

Unfortunately I do not do commissions (at least for now) I put so much time into making these that I become way too attached to them. If i were to sell them someday they would probably cost around $200 or so, mostly because I hate to part with them. I plan on making the mane six eventually, so far I just have Rd and Twi. Unfortunately Twilight's color is dark and doesn't turn out very god on camera :\

It looks great! I love it, I really do. I like the heart shape especially.

 

Keep on making these, and other things. And also... thanks for contributing!

WOW! THAT'S AMAZING. That is really cool. I almost guarantee that if you sell them, you'll make a lot of money. Nice work! It would be really cool to see more :)

You made that yourself? Wow! That's very impressive - not to mention, as everyone's favourite cyan pegasus would put it, AWESOME!


Uh...I have no idea what to put here.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I would pay $200 in a second for that! I should look into doing stained glass, it seems really fun!
