Agreed, that Zelda one is killer and it's an actual piece of stained glass artwork that uses the classic technique.

 

The Spider-man one looks good, but it's not really stained glass, more like a painting on glass. Lots of people could do that, and it's probably why Dough Vader beat it.

Well , truth be told Vince the Zelda piece was created using the Copper foil method which is more of a new(and much easier) technique compared to the "leaded" process which is considered to be the classic method. And the Zelda piece also has painting in the design as well.

 

 

The spiderman piece is actually the more pure form of "stained glass". The term stained glass comes from way back in the day when they would stain the glass surface with metals and silver oxides to create different effects on the glass surface. Hence the term stained. Today there are thousands of colors and textures to select from so staining is used when the design is too intricate to create by cutting and assembling the glass into the desired pattern. (mostly faces in religious windows)

 

The spidey piece imho was the hardest to create, and the most creative as well. Makes me wonder what else you state as fact that you know nothing about!

 

Reminds me that I never did get around to making the Batman piece I wanted to years ago. I even got as far as drawing it up to transfer into a glass cartoon.

 

Time and money never allowed me to finish it though. Take a look at the images Neal Adams supplied for me to use as possible window images, http://www.nealadams.com/kenny/ guess which one I landed on, easy guess really.

What I clearly meant by that comment, and you obviously know, the AF 15 incorporates large glass segments that are painted in a highly detailed way, instead of using the individual pieces to convey the overall image. I don't care what kind of metal or binding process they used, I'm talking about the inherent artistic technique.

 

You're getting "process" mixed up with "technique", the latter of which can be used with anything.

 

Using the same artistic technique in the AF 15, I could just take a piece of glass and paint an entire cover on it. I think it looks nice, but it's more of a glass painting than a true work of stained glass.

Fair enough, but I think if you click on the supplied link to the artists website you will see the construction of the spidey piece was as involved as the Zelda piece "construction wise" it is no less of a stained glass window because portions of it were painted to obtain the desired results(which was to re create an established iconic image)

 

That said I think the artistic vision of the Zelda piece is fantastic, they are just completely different types of windows, which both work imho.

 

What shall we discuss next?...how to build a perfect paper airplane?
