That's so beautiful! And oh wow, I just noticed the piece of glass on the Link side that's got several different colors melted into it. I bet that thing looks amazing with a candle illuminating it in the dark.

Looks really effective- the colour of the glass is good- only probelm I can see is the front is much larger than the rest and some of the solder needs tidying up but it still looks good. well done!

Thanks! Yeah... the front was an after thought after a scoring accident to replace some broken pieces so once I got it all together I noticed that it didn't fit but I figured it would be good practice anyway.
What solder bits in particular do you think need some extra attention? I like to know these things for future reference on later projects.

Oh yeah its great practise.
The bits which stood out to me were on the second picture on the join between front and the tri-force it looks a bit lumpy- maybe if it was bigger it wouldn't be so noticeable.

Ah! Yeah learning how to build the seams in between two pieces and make it look smooth has been a nice challenge. I'm discovering that a lot that has to do with how well I've taped the pieces and how they meet in the finished product. My later attempts have been fitting together much smoother.

I also thinkits got to do with how well the pieces were cut and copper foiled- for example if they are cut well then they should fit well- but if not there will be a gap and the solder will look bigger...
I'm in no way an expert! Please carry on with your items I look forward to your new ideas!

Oh, that's awesome! Next up will be one of those windows from those Windwaker wallpaper right? ;D
My mom used to do stained glass stuff back when I was in my early teens. We have some nice lampshades and suncatchers. I only did some basic stuff.

Haha would you believe that I've spent time looking at them and debating it. I honestly think I would need a lot of time, glass and work with decorative soldering techniques before I would even think of attempting one of those... I would also have to go in and debate where I would need to add additional lines because of breakage issues, etc. maybe one day though XD
It's a lot of fun. If you still have all of the stuff at your house you should try it!

Heh, maybe I will. I'd probably enjoy it more now that I have a longer attention span than I did when I was 13. We'll have to make some workspace in the basement or somewhere first though.

Yeah I have a big table spread out with my grinder and work area so that is important. Make sure you have some really good ventilation for the soldering as well. The fume are really bad for you.

I may end up going with Mario instead.. the Pacman idea keeps coming up awkward when I sketch it out.

That's really good. :3 You definitely got the right kind of colors for it, and I like how you can see Link and the Triforce on both sides of him. I also have a thing for candles and candle holders, so you get extra points there. XD
It's really good that with each piece you make, you're able to learn more new things to apply to future projects.
