Well, I haven't done a panel in months due to Mom's illness and I just thought I was going to go crazy if I did not cut some glass soon!! Did something simple to see if I still knew how!! All Wissmach scrap!!
Went to the factory last week and was sorry to hear that no more colored glue chip!! Wissmach made the glass then sent it to a company for chipping.The chip company went oob. I got the last of the iridized glue chip. It's really upsetting to see these companies closing. I hope our glass companies do not go under.

It is good you got a break to do something you love. You still seem to remember how to do it.

I like you dragonfly!
I agree that it's sad that there are no more colored glue chip sources. I really like that glass.

You can make your own glue chipped glass.
I did it once and it didn't work badly. Doing more pf it would probably improve the results.
I got instructions from Kaleido Glass, where I bought the glue (both the instructions and Kaleido are long since gone) , but if you Google "How to glue chip glass" there are a couple of sets of instructions. Then you just buy smooth cathedral glass, any colour you like, and chip away.

Vic told me we can make glue chip glass by sandblasting our glass then using hyde glue. As the glue dries the glass chips!
That's a great little panel, nice glass and a great pattern. Good choices.
