You ought to try clearing your cache and then look at your blog... then you'll see what the rest of us are seeing. And the new pics show up nicely. <BR/><BR/>And that applehead is looking really wicked now! He keeps squinting harder and harder! It must be because the future for you and Halfland is looking so dazzlingly bright. ;)Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160360986484838052006-10-08T19:29:00.000-07:002006-10-08T19:29:00.000-07:00Hey thanks, Mike.

Stability differs, eh? Didn't know. If you still can't see all images maybe I should lose the Halloween Flickr badge in my sidebar too and see if that's the issue.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160302766300647332006-10-08T03:19:00.000-07:002006-10-08T03:19:00.000-07:00Ok, some of your pics are showing up now... includ...Ok, some of your pics are showing up now... including the avatar. But some still aren't there. Do you upload directly through Blogger for the pics (asde from your Flikr pics, obviously)? I've used the Blogger pic upload feature for some of mine, and they have an annoying tendency to come and go. all the pics I upload through Photobucket seem incredibly stable. At least so far.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160295782740211762006-10-08T01:23:00.000-07:002006-10-08T01:23:00.000-07:00Thanks so much for directing some of those sweet b...Thanks so much for directing some of those sweet brain units over this way, Mike. Really nice of you. The clay worms/fun tack ideas sound like they have some real merit. And the straight edge guides worked when I was piping the lines on a seperate sheet, but threre were uncontrollable burb/blobs every few inches, even when I tried to remove the air in the bottle. So I imagined havng to scrap and clean the panes a lot with those messy errors all over them, hense the cardboard idea instead.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm elbow deep in minute detail with these, wanna know what I'm thinkin' today? Yeah, taping and soldering the whole lot like a real stained glass window. I had in mind doing that all these years but then thought of the cost of that much copper tape and solder and opted for other ideas. Plus, Tudor diamond quarry windows aren't stained glass as I understand it, they are really made by sliding the small shapes of (what was expense at the time) glass into gooves in iron mullions. In what is the only thing Google has not supplied me with, I have not been able to locate any visuals or info other than that on Tudor window construction. If I could, then I'd just follow the real method. Duh.<BR/><BR/>I could still apply (thicker) pre-piped whips instead of the cardboard for an iron look but I kind of like the lattice look for 1/2L. now. (I'm putting it like <EM>this</EM> and then like <EM>that</EM> again aren't I? Oy.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks so much for your important input.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160293216939848612006-10-08T00:40:00.000-07:002006-10-08T00:40:00.000-07:00Ok no wait!

Forget the initial hotglue thing... just lay some worms of clay on a sheet of paper... doesn't need to be wax paper, and in fact probably best if you first rule out a grid to show exactly where to lay the worms of clay. They go right where the leading needs to end up, and over them you place your individual panes. Might be hard to get them to lay perfectly flat though unless you can work out some kind of system for it. <BR/><BR/>Then... well, you now what then....Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160293095420988292006-10-08T00:38:00.000-07:002006-10-08T00:38:00.000-07:00Well, I don't know how Hila might approach it, but...Well, I don't know how Hila might approach it, but if it were me, I might try rolling out long thin worms of some kind of clay and press them into the gaps about halfway, this needs to end up on the underside though, so you'd just about have to go through the hotglue/waxpaper thing once, press in the worms of clay, then remove the hotglue and flip it over, with blobs of funtak or something on the back of each pane onto another sheet of waxpaper. Then lay a straightedge between two blocks set on each side of the window and use that as a guide to run the squeeze bottle along. A lot of work, and I don't know how well it would end up working out. But that's probably how I'd try it.

The straight strips look like mini milled model wood (which by the way, would work wonderfully but I can't be bothered to go out to locate the right stuff and get it.) Oh, and staining the toothpicks (or smaller model wood strips, if one did that) would be better too. On the next one, yes, sticky dots (if I get 'em) or rubber cement on wax paper and I'll see about shaping the cardboard before painting, maybe. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hi Hila! Thanks for stopping by! Knowing you had some trial and error does make me feel better. The thing is, could you use a squeeze bottle to pipe leaded lines directly into the gaps between the panes? No, don't tell me. How would you keep the dark stuff from seeping under the glass? No, don't tell me. !*L*!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160220359267912282006-10-07T04:25:00.000-07:002006-10-07T04:25:00.000-07:00I Like the Wooden lattice too.And just so you'll k...I Like the Wooden lattice too.<BR/>And just so you'll know, I earned my "wisdom" the hard way :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1160213677393721532006-10-07T02:34:00.000-07:002006-10-07T02:34:00.000-07:00I like the wooden look!

Of course, if you want more of an iron framework look you could cover them with glue, maybe with a little sand in it or smething. <BR/><BR/>So, on the next panel you'll be using Hila's wisdom, waxed paper and rubber cement? Sounds like a good plan.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.com
