I had always planned this to be a stained glass window, but a while ago, somehow I got sidetracked on to glass painting and that got me wondering whether I had a big enough piece of glass lying around (what, you don’t have 90x60cm pieces of glass lying around?) and anyway, long story short, screw stained glass. Takes so long and is so expensive and yeah, yeah, lasts forever etc. I don’t actually know how long glass paint stays bright but according to The Internet, it’s years and years if you don’t put it in direct sunlight, and maybe just years if you do. I’ll certainly be finding out.
Anyway, here it is, it’s lovely and it’s the last bit of space filled in so you can actually shut yourself in an enclosed bathroom now! Such luxury. Better get that extraction fan installed next…
The gold fripperies look lovely in the light from the roof window.
I do wish I’d extended the design right out past the edges of the glass. I wasn’t sure how that was going to look once it was installed. And it’s not coming out now, so, notes for next time.
Anyway, I am super-chuffed with it and ready to make millions more for every window and all over the garden. After I have done some other more pressing tasks.
For more info on the making process, look at my post about it on imakeeverything.co.uk.
