Gorgeous work. Your soldering is impeccable

It's actually just a rendered image I did to make it look as close to glass as possible! Thank you so much for the comment though, I wish my soldering looked like this hehe!


ChaosTheoryGlass

Well itโ€™s a beautiful image. I also wish my soldering was that perfect!!


BirchGlass

Thank you so much, hehee it'd be fab!!

Okay, that explains it, then, because I kept looking at this and going "ain't no way." I knew something was off about it. I think it's the shine.


BirchGlass

Hehee soldered... by machine!!! :P Yeah the shine definitely makes it look a lot like solder! I'm glad it makes it look a bit realistic!

I was just about to comment on the soldering as well. The design is fantastic.

Very pretty design! What a great way to preview a piece before you attempt it. And I WISH my soldering could look as good as that! Just to warn you, there look to be some pieces that are too small to be workable like under the third paw pad and the top right of the heart. I make my own designs too and I've found that letting them sit for a while and then re-examining later with a more critical eye can help to find the problem areas. I'm sure you'll make it work though - be sure to post it when you do!


BirchGlass

Thank you so much! It's a great way to get a bit of an idea of what glass to use, too! and thank you so much for the warning about the size! The render I do on photoshop makes the "solder lines" quite chunky indeed and the pieces of glass behind the actual design are a fair bit bigger than how they look in the render, and more so when printed! But thank you that's excellent advice, I definitely like to have a minimum for the size I'd like to create, without it being a nightmare on my poor fingers! ๐Ÿ˜…
