Production of a stained glass window
Before starting to make stained -glass windows, it is necessary to determine the image and color. If the stained glass window is in the room for decorating design in an abstract style, then it is better to select a gamut similar to the design of the room. If you want to display the drawing, you should remember that it should be dispersed throughout the stained glass area, supplementing it with various elements.
There are a large number of different art stained glasses that differ in a certain manufacturing methodology and temperature treatment. It is impossible to make each species at home, because for some stained -glass windows a certain room with stoves is necessary, the temperature in which can reach 1000 degrees. Therefore, at home, you can make a Tiphani stained glass, painted and film. We will consider how to make a Tifani stained glass at home.
In order to create a stained glass window of Tifani, first of all, it is necessary to draw a sketch on the Whatman, which will be cut into separate elements, and attach to colored glasses. Using glass cutter, cut the elements. The next step will be the edge of the edge. This can be done both on a special machine and using a sharpener, which is plunged into a metal bowl of water. After each detail of the sketch is perfectly tinted, you can start wiping the copper foil. The work is painful enough, because the edge of each part should be wrapped in foil and fit tightly to each other when connecting.
After the wrapping process is completed, it is necessary to treat copper foil with soldering acid using a cotton wool, and break. After this process, it is important to rinse the resulting composition by any means for washing dishes.
As soon as the stained -glass window dries, you can start to the final stage – the coating of the seam with a patina with a cotton swab, after which it is important to wash the stained glass.
