ONLINE GLASS HAUL! (TESTING ONLINE GLASS SHOPS)

[@itsmeowornever.8143]

I am new. The piece you said was puke yellow orange in the beginning is awesome! You could make a wild cat of some kind or a Halloween scene. Mix it with a cathedral magenta and emerald green, some gray and brown. 💜 I loved that one! .... okay going to watch the rest of the video now. 🤗

[@jan7812]

Thank you SO MUCH for the tip on LeslyesGlass the glass is SPECTACULAR ... TRUE EYE CANDY!!!!!! I live out in the boonies of WI and its very annoying to always drive 2 hours to go glass shopping. I've been super nervous to buy on-line so now I'm super excited to be able to save the money I spend on gas on glass!!! I'VE ALREADY GOT A CART STARTED. It was great to see how the glass was packed keep those coming even if they are just 2 minutes. TIPS ON WHERE TO GET GOOD QUALITY SUPPLIES IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED ... Your videos are so fun to watch! your easy to listen too, your voice is the perfect tone and speed. Your videos are the perfect length, you get to the point without dragging on and on.....I have never fast forwarded through them like I have on most videos!!!!!! YOUR AN INSPIRATION!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Aw thank you so much! That means so much to hear. My voice has always been a point of....insecurity for me. I'm so glad your enjoying my channel, thank you for watching!

[@ellychandler5991]

Could you do a video showing all of the glass you have and how you store it?? Love your videos

[@stellagirl7625]

I sooooo feel your emotion when you see the beautiful rainbow effect on glass!!! 🌈

[@MakenzieHallie]

🖤🖤🌈🖤🖤🌈🌈 so goooooddd!

[@jan7812]

thank you so much for review buying glass on line...I did love the pearl white would be create making orchids. LOVE the subtle irredesinse.

[@MakenzieHallie]

It is definitely not subtle in person!! Beware if you get it!! Its a very vibrant iridescent, not like light luminescent!! And thank you for watching!!

[@idoeverything]

Thank you so much for sharing all you do. I’ve learned so much! Love your tattoos 🥰.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Thank you Janie!

[@kathborrow2509]

I almost died when you pulled out that third white one. So beautiful and you look amazing with your new tats .

[@MakenzieHallie]

White iridescent is my fav!

[@nekoac2122]

Loved this shopping trip with you. Thank you!

[@glasgowbeck]

So beautiful, I was looking forward to seeing these and you did not disappoint. First batch, they just bundled ends, odd mix for sure. Second batch, that plum cranberry grape is awesome, so is the 🔥 piece. Third batch, blood orange piece is stunning. Great job showing us the joys and baby pukes of buying without seeing and touching. I guess you can experiment on the parts of the pieces you don't like quite so much. Some folk would just sell those on to a beginner. Thanks Makenzie! Have a great weekend everyone

[@MakenzieHallie]

Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@kaylahelgeson8897]

So glad you did this video. I've always been hesitant to shop for glass online because of the fear of breakage but will give it a try. THANK YOU!!

[@MakenzieHallie]

So glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching!!

[@chrisharris2318]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, your passionate about glass and it shows. I liked the Amazon pack for a great comparison of whats available. Think I’ll try Etsy. Thanks again.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Thank you for watching! And I absolutely am, idk why or when but I got sucked into glass for life!

[@chrisharris2318]

@@MakenzieHallie well for whatever reason I’m glad you did, I’m glad I found your channel and I am getting started myself, just for fun though. I’m just going to start small and see what comes out. I’ll send you a a pic of my first moon!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Please do!! And buckle up then, that glass bug bites quick!!! Have fun!!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Lmfao noooooooo thank youuu

[@caronspencer6363]

The maroon one is nice!!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching!!

[@EmilyTooke]

I just started stained glass and have been working with the Amazon packs, can’t wait to get some bigger sheets! Unfortunately there aren’t many glass stores near me so I will have to order online

[@MakenzieHallie]

Well, ill be doing more online glass videos in the future, just start on Google and really look through EVERYWHERE. online shopping is available now more then ever, so don't feel discouraged not having an in person store to go to!

[@doninis1354]

I wish I was your neighbor. I love glass since I was litle I am a really crafti person and all the scrips and bits I would love to use. I do experement a lot with glass and try to find new ways to reuse it. I like your videos...it is very well explained. Thank you.

[@MakenzieHallie]

If you want to buy glass scraps, I will occasionally make some bags, and most artist do! You can find them all over ebay, etsy, etc! Or just reach out to the artist!

[@doninis1354]

Thank you. yes..that is where i get my scraps now...but it would be a wonderland just to go through a bunch 😁

[@ericlee9318]

I watched all the videos from you, it is so helpful to me! Thanks ! Do you like the iridescent stained glass with pink base?

[@MakenzieHallie]

Yes I do!

[@shanerose6864]

As a beginner, I did order a different assorted pack from Amazon and on top of 4/10 being damaged the color choices were odd to me. Looks like I may have to try Etsy now. Thanks for these videos and the continued inspiration!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Aw that's such a bummer! I'm sorry that happened! And yes, deff try etsy or those big online stores! Thank you for watching!

[@janinewoodworth7246]

Thanks for sharing! My order from LeslyesGlassHut should be here any day. I’m just starting so I’m trying to order project specific glass but hope to build up a good stockpile of all colors. I’m excited to get my order!

[@MakenzieHallie]

That's awesome!! Have fun and welcome to glass!

[@jmheller9268]

These smaller glass packs are used mostly for people who do mosaics. They were pretty though. And i feel like you can do better with Anything in Stained Glass. Love your channel. Gonna keep watching!! Happy Spring.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Indeed! This was a video for those just starting, not looking to spend much or have no in person option. The GM at both gryphon and creators brand told me to give "anything in stained glass" a chance, so in the future if I shop online again, I will be checking them out for sure, and of coarse will film it! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@tubehound8]

Thank you for sharing your passion Mackie. Stay safe

[@patrickginley2538]

Thanks for the tip just ordered from leyles glass hut beautiful selection

[@MakenzieHallie]

Awesome!!! I hope you enjoy it!!

[@jojojamesk]

Suchhh beautiful glass. I remember watching a video of yours in which you took us through how you package your items for shipping but can't find that video now, did you take it down or am I missing it? Thanks :)

[@MakenzieHallie]

I took it down!! Im sorry! Can't give away ALL of my secrets! 🖤😘

[@robertmcgivern565]

First pack, 'pants', the next one though looks quite good and third even better. I'm in the UK so first I'll try find an outlet I can visit because pack one I think would demoralise me.

[@Atc250rgirl2]

I buy all my glass local but I think I will check this site out! I was really impressed with how well I could see the iridescent in the video.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Unfortunately they are an in person only! There site is too just find the address! Thank you for watching!

[@michellereed7312]

So watching you do this video, I watch them all because you're awesome, and all I could think was... How come no one has started to sell glass sheets on here? As in, LIVE AUCTIONS! I think you should do it! you'd be so good at it and as far as I know, the ONLY ONE doing it. You'd definitely start a trend. I'd be a frequent buyer ;)

[@MakenzieHallie]

Well that is DEFINITELY something I will think about! So glad your enjoying my channel, thank you so much for watching! 🖤

[@pistxl]

I'm gonna make the hour drive to Kokomo for some glass at some point but I was reading Amazon reviews and everyone was complaining about the quality of the glass with air bubbles and scratches etc. Just wondering if you were affected by that at all in your early days and do those things really affect the work someone is able to create?

[@caitlinwilliams9961]

You have me hooked on iridescent glass, just fyi, lol. But loved the stuff from Etsy, and the glass pack from Amazon was ok-like you said, weird color choices and some awful base colors in the mix. Thanks for doing this!!!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Ok totally agree, ill ditch that specific glass pack for the G.A! Im glad your enjoying the iridescent world! Its beautiful here lol!! Thank you for watching!

[@lexikomaromi937]

Hi Makenzie! Thank you so much for this video! I appreciate all your videos they help me so much.. A quick question, I ordered from Lesley on Etsy and found multiple of the pieces had scratches in it, one of the pieces had multiple pieces. Since you got a scratch in yours, im curious, should I say something to her? Does this frequently happen? Is there anything I can do or is it just kind of expected to have that happen?

[@MakenzieHallie]

Hello! If you have any issues I would reach out to her! As mentioned I don't shop for glass online anymore so for as it being frequent, I cannot say. If its basic small scratches, thats expected with glass. But if its unusable then yes I would reach out to her!

[@jaimietaylor5164]

I’ve watched all of your (amazing) videos and I’m having such a hard time finding where you talked about jump rings. The ones I ordered are doing the “solder is hot lava keep away” thing, which video can I watch to find out what to use please?

[@MakenzieHallie]

I do not share or recommend any chains or jump rings. Use your knowledge of what metals can, and cannot, be soldered! 🖤

[@argusfleibeit1165]

Yeah-- any "variety" glass packs always have a couple of WTF?s. The icky shades of brown probably exist for those who do landscape or forest scenes, and need tonal variations. And if you do portraits, the non-iridescent sides can be used for skin tone shading. So, not completely useless or ugly, if you can find a way to use them. Saying that, once I got a fairly good stock of glass in the beginning, I started to only buy what I saw that I liked, instead of the packs where you take pot luck.

[@wanderingheathen8290]

What would you make using these small sheets ? They're almost an awkward size.... I ordered a glass pack, 4x6 and they're so small...not even sure what to do with them. 😂 Is there any way you can show us how to fit/cut the most bang for our buck on those tiny sheets? 😌🤔🤩

[@MakenzieHallie]

Well it depends what your making! Im the rare occasion that ONLY uses iridescent. so just mix it in anywhere you would any other glass! Thank you for watching!

[@californiagumbo8702]

Cool!

[@lauriewilson4741]

The brown u didn’t like, I’ve used on a Native American chief on horseback. Has its uses. It may grow on you 😊

[@lindacondray7918]

Two EXCELLENT resources for ordering online: Anything in Stained Glass (in Frederick, Md) Delphi Glass (in Michigan I think) Not putting websites to avoid any “sponsorship” issues.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Appreciate it! I mention these both in this video! 🖤

[@roccocamarillo]

I am new to this so excuse the question. Why does only one side of the glass have iridescent coating?

[@MakenzieHallie]

Because the back of the glass is the back! It's not meant to be seen! And its ok!

[@leahblanchet2853]

Hello, Can you get into glass prices? And smart shopping for beginners lol? No clue where to even start out shopping for glass, I have one place in town where she makes art for people and didn't really disclose where she gets her glass from when I asked lol... Thank you for any help!

[@MakenzieHallie]

Aw what a bummer she wouldn't share info. So I don't shop online for glass anymore I only do it in person but I have recently done a couple videos shopping online for glass and showing where I would go if I did have to do so. so go to my channel and you'll see recently, about 5 videos ago shopping for stained glass online and then the online glass haul right after it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKumq6mnZ7CZpdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXEapuPoZuAbsk

[@loripeterson5403]

I ordered a couple of sample packs, the small sizes, really pleased! and, as you predicted, the one company is backordered- I won't say the name, a teaser to have your customers watch your other video

[@MakenzieHallie]

Appreciate it!! Thank you for watching and have fun!!

[@jodihartz2247]

Hello.... You have picked much better glass, so I would say this wasn't my favorite... The amazon glass!

[@doloreseichler5556]

Can you help with applying black patina. In researching there are a crazy amount of suggestions but I trust you

[@MakenzieHallie]

What are your questions about it??!

[@doloreseichler5556]

@@MakenzieHallie It never comes out truly black and fades to a bronze tone. How do u apply? Do u wash after? How long do u let it set before polishing?

Haven’t worked with iridescent glass where would you use it?

[@MakenzieHallie]

Its all I use! Literally. You can use it anywhere you'd like, just like any other glass!

[@StinkyDustyBird]

I’ve ordered twice from lesly, two big orders, no doubles and it was over 150.00, I love the variety but I wish she would put the sheets with very little color or iridescence as seconds and cheaper. I got one piece black and clear, black was only on the rolled edge, so it was just clear 😼

[@MakenzieHallie]

Like I mentioned, unfortunately that's how glass goes anywhere online! If you want to be able to hand pick, in store is always the best option! If your unhappy ordering anywhere online, you can always reach out to them!

[@Chillazilla2]

Iridescent glass isn't normally my taste, but the maroon sheets of glass are beautiful.

[@MakenzieHallie]

Indeed they are, love me some ripple iridescent!!

The Amazon pack was not impressive. Lesleys' was great. Thank you for sharing the information.

Maybe I would describe it has "poppy" not pumpkin or orange.

I think you have a right to be picky. You create such beautiful pieces of artwork and you know what you love! I have learned so much from your videos. Hope to be just a little bit has talented has you

I appreciate that so much brandy! Thank you for your support and kind words!

You should ask these shops for a referral code since you are promoting. I got a referral code for LeslyesGlassHut from another artist on ig for 15% off. Thanks for all the tips! Love the coffin sign.

[@MakenzieHallie]

You are so welcome!!

[@joytehero]

@@MakenzieHallie Let me know if you want the referral code if she doesn't give you a personal one. I'm sure she would.
