These panels had paint, dirt, tape glue, some sort of epoxy and several other types of corrosion on them. Was it worth the time and money? Yes!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcewX9-yagYFEYYpyqtfmSp5FwYYF7cA2f7nRaRfsTuNBQFFzChvRXPHmlTiQwB0pRwO8nFIff1-xr8FZzPAVMma_qqpQVxtWnX8A450HTJvxRAkxE87wgI0f0YqsMscId2ub8nIQK_56cISfN84teFKMmLJ53ij8Z0RkgNv0k8ESNCja-Y4rSbTwEfg/s3024/3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcewX9-yagYFEYYpyqtfmSp5FwYYF7cA2f7nRaRfsTuNBQFFzChvRXPHmlTiQwB0pRwO8nFIff1-xr8FZzPAVMma_qqpQVxtWnX8A450HTJvxRAkxE87wgI0f0YqsMscId2ub8nIQK_56cISfN84teFKMmLJ53ij8Z0RkgNv0k8ESNCja-Y4rSbTwEfg/w640-h640/3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Panel restoration is one of the most rewarding and exciting projects to take on. A job like this is very tedious and meticulous, but envisioning the final product is what inspires an artist (and designer) to take on a job like this. The first step was to cut the frame, so I could access the glass, using a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-7350-5-3-6v-Rotary-Tool/dp/B08YKH9JRH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=29MTJ9Q9KL0YK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6DryzF-ulPJxi12jk9K7cEN2NXnriktE8kxtZSm5Lv6UwlWonnnv9LSyPxElddw1EOt83-0h-IZmDVKk_G1txzTO78quoTQ7XAbhd8dsMWEE1-ZNpgwvnF-sryuEyaqCGRxeZIUBOXN0-OgmKBm1nlx9PBKYGvAPS73lzTuMy_mmneIOwZOFoySnTrfC0zo3Eu5-RIxiRrTVn9St3qPYKKbsxf1s7raf7_JOVhVXd9Dg8JrmNsQ700cFBgwwumOOshrLhZWpHhY3OA6VQzssXaEizcqPQ34Ye_OWqrCdbBM.IelqpkfD0ywQpkKyXYInQxij0IrHTyEx-dFh1KqB0iQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=dremel%2Brotary%2Btool%2Bcordless&qid=1707922074&s=industrial&sprefix=dremmel%2Brotary%2Btool%2Bcordless%2Cindustrial%2C161&sr=1-4&th=1" target="_blank">rotary tool</a> with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B93L6NGW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">cut off wheel</a> to get a clean cut on both sides of the came. The broken glass is indicated by the black sharpie line marks. I sourced glass pieces from some of the other panels that were not being used, and used new era glass that matched the aesthetic of the vintage glass. I scraped out the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYZHPND/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">cement/putty</a>, and replaced the glass. I used a rotary tool with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074ZHP6L6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">sanding bit</a> to prepare the zinc for soldering. Once the panels were soldered in I washed the panels in a basin with a mild detergent and soft brush.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkn9Kgg030PkndviB9P2KxdHCAbctESZAPDtNsyLTIHaDeKuACvEOV2ModJlIfQ-EJpbEc96AN2isFRQdub1BNtCeBHryOMYwVQGaGLNu2DJtiv2dK55ety9g0bdvMrvULWrGnQPqxcY3olWtyJjs6sX60Ryivgw5Mtm-KVwVvPG9b1AH70MAg4w3ngys/s2842/IMG_E3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2492" data-original-width="2842" height="562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkn9Kgg030PkndviB9P2KxdHCAbctESZAPDtNsyLTIHaDeKuACvEOV2ModJlIfQ-EJpbEc96AN2isFRQdub1BNtCeBHryOMYwVQGaGLNu2DJtiv2dK55ety9g0bdvMrvULWrGnQPqxcY3olWtyJjs6sX60Ryivgw5Mtm-KVwVvPG9b1AH70MAg4w3ngys/w640-h562/IMG_E3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The next phase was to deep clean the glass. Hand held steam cleaners are helpful to work some of the debris out of the deep glass pores, but it's not always successful. I scraped off the paint and epoxy splatter using a flat razor blade, and on the porous side, I used lacquer thinner with a Q-tip. I followed up with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MF3DY3C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">melamine sponge</a> ("Magic Eraser"). I went over each panel and removed any other debris with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GKM4PYH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1" target="_blank">craft/hobby knife</a> ("Exacto Blade"). I followed up with the cementing/puttying process, polished and let them cure. Yes, this is an arduous process and takes hours of commitment and focus.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAJVP5fb64xF5ucB9ABA-DjwV4XbI_tE3i9vXGEQD423Q5FLkJvuLuKyl21rgCf1h1wqTV1a-ALoQbTmHGpC7-7MPjuWiepJ3zfM2OejqVmAQrIVi7S-AnE5pCzgGbGD6PatyJHM94nujVlz73tkqNwBqH_8e4TM5mG8YkHm6mpiKskbmSRC-RQ9GCwQ/s1334/IMG_0508.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="750" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAJVP5fb64xF5ucB9ABA-DjwV4XbI_tE3i9vXGEQD423Q5FLkJvuLuKyl21rgCf1h1wqTV1a-ALoQbTmHGpC7-7MPjuWiepJ3zfM2OejqVmAQrIVi7S-AnE5pCzgGbGD6PatyJHM94nujVlz73tkqNwBqH_8e4TM5mG8YkHm6mpiKskbmSRC-RQ9GCwQ/w360-h640/IMG_0508.PNG" width="360" /></a></div><p>The <a href="https://www.dlartglass.com/product/detail/cascade-metals-1-4-x-5-32-in-colonial-h-zinc-came" target="_blank">zinc came</a> work was highly oxidized. I used steel wool and a rotary tool with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XQYF6KR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1" target="_blank">abrasive buffing wheels</a> to remove the oxidation. Then followed up with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002J1QBEC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Birchwood Casey E & F Super Blue Liquid Gun Blue</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AWFJTE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Rutland Products Grill Liquid Stove Polish</a>. This polish (I preferred the liquid over the paste) restored the zinc, filled any oxidation pores and gave it a dark bronze tone with a nice shine. I used Q-tips to apply, let it dry, then buffed with a clean microfiber cloth. This polish will dry onto the glass and it takes some effort to remove. Any residual polish on the glass can be removed right away, or if it dries on to the glass, scrape it off with a razor blade. If it dries on to glass that is porous, dip a Q-Tip in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DL9126/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">mineral oil</a> (in a highly ventilated area) and go over the polish until it is removed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTpVlKs7Xb0FfZ6pW6ZYxHZdmLEUE7yo5BbShohNfzJpX1e7_Wpno8UO3gKJmxlDDH8U7iJff0zeK25Mu4WsvQMc9dfp7qwOfvM2BFqa1EVJVsozpSgnx2a7EyMcfGZV-d3QTSnkKJnAtipNHeBYW5szoOBbidgHSY9mDBCBrYIuQiDievdlXnjobXRs/s1334/IMG_0510.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="750" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTpVlKs7Xb0FfZ6pW6ZYxHZdmLEUE7yo5BbShohNfzJpX1e7_Wpno8UO3gKJmxlDDH8U7iJff0zeK25Mu4WsvQMc9dfp7qwOfvM2BFqa1EVJVsozpSgnx2a7EyMcfGZV-d3QTSnkKJnAtipNHeBYW5szoOBbidgHSY9mDBCBrYIuQiDievdlXnjobXRs/w360-h640/IMG_0510.PNG" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The bottom corners have beautiful detail with a frosted square that had imbedded dirt in the micro pores.

Today we celebrate the
patron saint of Ireland and all things Irish. Over the years I’ve created several
beautiful glass pieces inspired by Irish culture and traditions. First, the
trinity knot, an ancient Celtic symbol that represents the interconnectedness
of all things. Next the hops flower, an essential ingredient in brewing beer, that
which Ireland is known for. Finally, the shamrock, which is an iconic symbol of
Ireland, said to have been used by Saint Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity to
the Irish people. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The following glass photos are all designed and crafted in my studio and are available for purchase or custom order.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I wish you all a safe and happy

text-align: left;">There's no way around it, glass photography takes practice. Before you spend money on expensive lighting, light boxes and backdrops, find what you have around your house or studio. Don't worry about creating catalog perfect photos. As long as the photo is clear, and highlights the colors and design, you'll have a great photo. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This stained glass surf board features vibrant blue and yellow glass, so I used a wire rack shelf with two LED under cabinet light strips, with a white poster board clipped up to the shelf. I hung the surf board in the center of the shelf to allow the front and back light to illuminate the glass.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The photo was then cropped and posted to my Etsy shop. Sold! The features I liked most about this art piece were conveyed to the buyer, and that's what matters.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcg22a1GV8RsIbmuo5Df9s3DfSc7Xvn3Mgn9ZYKqyOhIFGvDs-LQ3glO9qE-OgjuUqz1FYA_blTzN0yxCKIoJBb_HuzdZ8Z4AHAw9KJDCZXh_OgOtpn9PZldTITOvXehPCC5r8B8wsP7BBtkXqOTHnGPNSevgVIA65N_n_DnjWw2HtdMMEHpFXVS4/s2524/Blue%20surfboard_2394.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2524" data-original-width="2518" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcg22a1GV8RsIbmuo5Df9s3DfSc7Xvn3Mgn9ZYKqyOhIFGvDs-LQ3glO9qE-OgjuUqz1FYA_blTzN0yxCKIoJBb_HuzdZ8Z4AHAw9KJDCZXh_OgOtpn9PZldTITOvXehPCC5r8B8wsP7BBtkXqOTHnGPNSevgVIA65N_n_DnjWw2HtdMMEHpFXVS4/w638-h640/Blue%20surfboard_2394.JPG" width="638" /></a></div><div><br /></div>In the photo below, these whimsical stained glass butterflies seemed right at home in a natural sunlight setting. The wood backdrop and tools are a nice juxtaposition to the soft lines of the glass butterflies. With the white paper towels beneath the glass, the sunlight shines and illuminates the glass in some areas, but you also see what the glass looks like in other areas without light. This variation worked well for my Instagram feed.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiML44N_Z1kHx2kIuo3Exu9jddyDE7jvub0FAElVSCxVeLGW4RyNK_twTOM9fY7AmqtalEXfPAz1vtOHwH8IFnwpzfAAk2zQWIbbNVKrolVhv8aaRO9RyVVjvreTJjovZehrqDjH04jz_FaJVvz8-0Ud1WKZG0xxiwl0IJlh60EKnh9rnK2GKiZf3iN/s4608/EHStudio_2401.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiML44N_Z1kHx2kIuo3Exu9jddyDE7jvub0FAElVSCxVeLGW4RyNK_twTOM9fY7AmqtalEXfPAz1vtOHwH8IFnwpzfAAk2zQWIbbNVKrolVhv8aaRO9RyVVjvreTJjovZehrqDjH04jz_FaJVvz8-0Ud1WKZG0xxiwl0IJlh60EKnh9rnK2GKiZf3iN/w640-h480/EHStudio_2401.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>If you're aiming for a vintage effect, use overhead incandescent lighting.

I found glass art!Every year I look forward to our local Saturday Market at Heritage Park. Today I found a glass mosaic artist with a beautiful display. <span style="text-align: center;"> "Mosaics Plus", </span><a href="http://mosaicsplus.com/" style="text-align: center;">Mosaicsplus.com</a><span style="text-align: center;">, Caldwell, ID. </span>I like their use of wood shelving to contrast and showcase the glass and stone materials.<br />
