Glass overlay book?

[Sue in NC]

Somewhere I saw two different book offerings on doing a layered approach. I think one of them was around $29.  I searched on "overlay" and on "laminate," but I did not find anything. Isn't there also another term for this method?  Can anyone point me to the books or to where I can find more information?

Does using this technique result in a piece that is really too heavy to hang by a chain in a window? Does it have to be screwed into the frame or displayed more as a wall piece?

Sue do you mean plating? I don't know what the book titles are, but I think that's the method you're meaning...

Plating!  That's it! I couldn't think of the term.  Thank you.

Sue,

I love glass plating and it gives a piece such a different perspective.  If you look in the gallery of this web page there is a picture of the dancer I made using this method (my very first attempt) and it is three layers thick and not to heavy to hang with chains.  Give it a try, it is great.

Search this web site for "glass plating" as several others here have used this method with great results and they have offered great tips on the method and reference materials.  That is how I got the courage to do it the first time.

Sue,

I can't speak highly enough about Barry Masser's books on glass plating.  I have them all, and refer to them before starting any new project.   He gave me the courage to try it the first time, and the result was "Tree at Sunset" on my website.  I was hooked!!!  The plating technique gives you such gorgeous depth and textural effects you can't achieve using just one layer of premium glass.

I now use plating on almost all my windows, as it gives you the ability to transfer the picture in your mind to the medium of glass.

Try it and you'll be bewitched!

I've  always enjoyed Robert Oddy's work, http://www.robertoddy.com/default.html
He has over many years had his work published in various magazines and contributed to quite a few tutorial articals in Glass Patterns Quarterly.
