Custom Stained Glass Windows

Postby eilonwy77 » Sun May 29, 2011 9:43 pm

This seems like the appropriate place to post this. If not, I am sorry.

I discovered someone who is making handmade custom stained glass windows for his LEGO creations. I thought they were beautiful, and would make a wonderful addition to a castle or cathedral. I have no clue how he does it, but wanted to share anyway.

Those are awesome. I'll have to look into that.

It looks like they were made with clear water slide decals.

Aren't they pretty, Blake? The only drawback I would have to making them is that I'm somewhat of a purist and wonder how to make pretty things with actual LEGO. But I think I could have a second calling as a designer of stained glass windows, both custom stickers and the real kind that you might find on a real window. But I still have about 250 kazillion LEGO patterns to discover first. ;-)

@Mswlik -- You're welcome. ;-)

Yea I wonder if purists go through moral dilemmas whenever they get an idea on creating customs. I for one am trying to work my way out of Brickarms/Brickforge and cut accessories.
Well we're appreciating your creations as fast as you're making them so please keep them coming!

These are very beautiful, especially if for a cathedral. Thanks for sharing.
