Santa Fe Chief and John Deere in stained glass

[Alco83]

JW,

Is there a special paint one must use when doing these or will any oil or acrylic paint work?

[jwbridges]

The only think we use thats not glass, are overlays, the spooks on the bike, the rocks are overlays, the rest is stained glass. Thanks for looking.

[jwbridges]

A overlay is a strip of copper laid over the glass then solder

The lettering, B&O ,Santa Fe, John Deere thats all been sand blasted into the glass.

Well, it looks good. Do you sell any of your pieces?

[jwbridges]

Yes,
We sell them,
Not many due to economy, it has come down to asking 10 dollars per hour or so,
others charge more for pattern- generated work, ours are original, and framed ready to hang, so the cost of each is based on number of pieces, mostly, requiring more time.

I am not sure if that is too much promo for this site???
