Making This Mackintosh Rose Stained Glass Window

Completed making the cutest little Mackintosh Rose transom window this week. I always have a soft spot for these little 'Glasgow Roses'. Some of the first windows made were in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and I must have made quite a few hundred over the years 🫶
Cheers for watching 🫶

Simple designs in stained glass windows can be just as beautiful as more complex designs. This one certainly is simple yet very beautiful.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I agree buddy 🤜💥🤛

[@markbratton1597]

Another fantastic piece of work 👏

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you Mark 🙂

[@benniehumephotography]

Watching you work is so calming. Not to mention the beautiful work you do!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

A little bit Asmr 😂🫶 cheers buddy

Nicely done

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Cheers me dears 🙂

[@louiseberman4241]

Looks beautiful. I like the fact you stated you didn't need to cement the piece but no short cuts in your work. That goes a long way for customer care. Well done

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you Louise, I always think about what happens if someone wants to repurpose the window the future. The window would really be fit for any other position 🫶

This may be my favorite that you've done recently! I love the way the antique hammered glass pops against the muffle glass.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

It's always nice featuring a little heavier textured glass in the simpler designs. Gives a lovely bit of contrast 💜💙💛🧡

[@Renalrocks9736]

You work far differently than I was taught, but oh man, do I see the benefits. You get a far superior result in your work. It is impressive.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Always looking for way to increase productivity 🤣🤣🤣 thank you buddy

[@dianavoermans]

Can you please put out a video on the design process that also includes the creation of the templates. Thank you. Great work.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

It's always such a long drawn out process with the client, it would be very difficult to record and be interesting to watch but I'll try at some point in the future 🍻

[@erosario64]

@@LightLeadedDesigns Thank you.

[@yellowdrawers]

Love your work. Do you only solder one side? What type of needle nose pliers do you use? And lastly do you ever have to use a glass grinder?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you, I always solder both sides. The grozing pliers are Silberschnitt tungsten tipped grozing pliers but they stopped making them many years ago 😭

[@Viholio]

Hey Jan! Big fan! Im curious about your template software? What is it and how customized did you have to make it before you got it it all tuned in? Thanks so much for the gorgeous art and bringing the joy!

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you, I actually invested a few years ago in having my own design program made. So much work!

[@holymoly2353]

I love this! I'm just starting out, do you mind if I copy it. It's a lovely design and you are an amazing craftsman. BTW, what's that cutter you're using. I like that you can get a flatter angle on it when scoring. So much more control and less stress on the fingers.

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Tbf I copied it myself from another window in my clients home so that's cool with me 🤜💥🤛 the glass cutter is a sibersmitt model but they stopped making them many years ago 😭

[@holymoly2353]

@@LightLeadedDesignscool thanks - of course it'll be a while before I'll attempt it... Thank you for the inspiration

[@오구애]

Your works are always great. Can I know the identity of the special black liquid and lead you use? I live in Korea and am very interested in glass art..and I love foo fighters 😎

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Thank you 🙂 the lead light cement is my own recipe but it's very similar to the standard recipes you can find with a Google search for 'leaded light window cement recipe' 👍

[@marcinratajczak1377]

Cześć Jan Jestem bardzo zafascynowany twoimi pracami. Mam pytanie jak nazywa się program którego używasz do tworzenia projektów. Pozdrawiam z Polski

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I invested a good amount of money having my own design program made a few years ago 🤜💥🤛

[@googler38]

Do you still use whiting ?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

Not really, rather not make a mess 🍻

[@خالدمحمودالعكيدي-ف5ق]

Well done my friend, very wonderful job. After completing the painting, what are the first and second materials that you put on the painting and from there you say about her vagina by the degree and what is the benefit of them?

[@LightLeadedDesigns]

I get the feeling that English isn't your first language as its difficult to understand the question. Try commenting in another language and we'll see how the KZbin comment translation thing works 👍
