Hi Laura. As I did 😁 But you can do that. I've done that and had no trouble with the ink burning off. The only problem I had was getting the pattern the right size when it was printed, and then due to slight variations in the pieces, it didn't line up exactly anyway.

Wow! Brilliant! That was a very complex pattern to assemble and I love how you worked it out on graph type paper. That is a beautiful design, wonderfully executed with a happy surprise at the end! That French Vanilla can be a fickle mistress! Jeff, that is just a beautiful piece, thank you for sharing! 😊💖

Hi. Actually, I love doing complex designs. Something satisfying. Probably comes from years of developing software and the process of putting all the individual pieces together. 😁

It turned out great! I’m glad you showed the way the French Vanilla turned out. I see a lot of french vanilla in strip construction, but I never would have guessed that was only French Vanilla. I would have tried to put some yellow or something, so you have saved me a mystery. So neat! Thanks for sharing your process.

Hi Meredith. I've answered your comment in another area. Hope you have better luck this time.
I took a pattern bars class at bullseye many years ago. I used French vanilla in my finished piece. Problem, where these butted up against each other. The theme was very visible. The man teaching the class was a bull's eye employee, and he says that striping has something to do with the way French vanilla is made and how it's cooled.

That would make sense as you only seem to see it when the edge is exposed and fired, or in frit. When it's fired flat it's mainly all one colour, though I have noticed small patches that are lighter occasionally. Probably due to the handmade process.

Hi Jeff, brilliant design! Love the lines in the vanilla. I can’t seem to get cutting strips right, I break far too many. Very annoying however, I will persevere. Thanks for the link on your website 👍🏻

Hi Ed. Do you cut in multiples of 2 then progressively snap in pairs? I do that where possible. It spreads the load more evenly between pairs. If I use the guides then that's not possible and I have to score and snap individually. You need a good score. Try starting the snap from both ends. Gently start the snap so it starts running, then turn the glass around and complete it from the other end. Make sure the glass cutter is good and use lubricant. Not sure if this helps.

Hi Rosalind. I agree. The organic nature of natural edges is nice. Strange thing from a guy with a touch of OCD. But geometric designs call for symmetry.

How did you determine how long you wanted each piece of glass?
@RocketRoseArt

Hi Jim. The pattern has been worked out on a grid of 3 mm x 20 mm cells. 3 mm because of the glass thickness, and the strips will be laid on edge. If you download the PDF from my website (link in the description), you can get a copy. Because everything is, therefore, multiples of 20 mm it was just a matter of looking at the pattern, counting the number of grid cells to determine the lengths required of each colour. Hope that helps.

Absolutely stunning! I would love to have the pattern. I don’t have a sandblaster, can you tell me why you needed to use it on this project? Thanks so much!
@RocketRoseArt
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Gwen. Partly because I had to coldwork the edges. When I do that I prefer to sandblast. Partly also because I often get devit on the second firing if I haven't worked the surface. I believe it's cumulative heat work. More time at the devit temp range.

Hi Mimi. Converting all those measurements to inches accurately is a little difficult. The conversion is 1mm - 0.039 inches. This will give you a fractional value in inches that will be difficult to measure. For example, 10mm is 0.39 inches. or 30mm is 1.17 inches. Not sure how you would measure that. Sorry I can't be of more help.
