Description
These are the designs I created for the stained glass suncatchers Carrie and I will (hopefully) have soon for our upcoming conventions. Now that its finally decent out, I can do some stained glass work again. When you cut the pieces, you need to use a glass grinder to get the shapes just right. I don't like using it in the house because it spray glass bits all over the place, which is not a good look. I don't like to wear shoes in my house, and I got enough glass splinters in my feet last time I tried it, so I'm not about to repeat that experience.Part of the fun of making stained glass is finding the glass to make the designs, and I have a lot of really cool glass to try out. The flat color I used in the mock up will not be what is used for the final product, I just wanted to see if the designs worked with color. The solder lines will be finished in a different patina color for each pony: Silver for Rarity, bronze for Fluttershy and Applejack, and tentatively black for the rest.
When completed, they will be about 4-5 inches tall with a metal ring by ear for hanging.
(And yes, Pinkie is way too dark, but it's only a mock up)

Applejack looks the fanciest overall. Must be the hat. But I would definitely buy Rainbow Dash cause she looks wicked. She would be %20 more cool if she didn't have that nasty line straight through the middle of her face. But that's glass for you... Maybe you could get lucky and do it all without the need to do I break there. Lol.

Yeah, glass is so much fun. I had to leave the line there on RD and Twi, but they looked really good anyway with the fancy glass manes. Hopefully I'll be able to post RD and Applejack sometime soon, we sold all of them without photographing those two.

I love the Apple Jack one, her hat really adds to the overall look. ^^

Thanks! They're going to look even better when actually completed.
