You also see someone else’s attempts at the same job … Whether you laugh or cry is up to you!

Another tale of restoration here, but one with lots of interest to contemporary readers like yourself.

Free Guide – Stained Glass Lettering
It began with a tentative enquiry from Maureen James, the wonderful editor-in-chief at Glass Patterns Quarterly and Profitable Glass …
And it resulted in a series of four ground-breaking articles between Fall 2008 and Summer 2009.
Now you can download your own copy of the fourth of these articles: the original and precise way of doing “blocked in” lettering as you see on medieval scrolls.

Silver Stain: How to Trace, Blend, Shade and Flood from a Reliable Batch that Lasts for Months
Silver stain is typically a “!!!#^X^??!X!!!” to use.
Excuse our language but if you’ve been there, you’ll know what we mean.

And yet it shouldn’t be like that.
In fact, when we use stain, it isn’t like that at all.
People just need to use the right media, and handle them appropriately. Here’s where you get a head start on everyone else.
