Kim I like your glasses
Thank you!
When using the pattern, how do you compensate for the 1/8 inch grout spacing between each piece as the pieces fit together perfectly as in a puzzle?? This is the challenge for me!
The spacing for grout does not change the pattern. Do you mean how do you make the spaces consistent or harmonious? I like to tell folks that each tile, each piece of tesserae, needs to be a good neighbor to the next. And remember some materials like smalti and stone, do not want to be grouted. Grout is optional. Not sure I answered your question. For good fitting, it is all about precision cutting, and for that, practice makes perfect. Keep creating, and thank you for being a fan.
Actually if I trace pieces of my pattern onto the stained glass, then cut them out, the pieces fit exact and then there’s no room for grout. I want to grout. Just think I’m missing something!
I think you approaching as if making g a stained glass piece vs a mosaic using stained glass “tessarae”. Try cutting a pool of tessarae and then pull from the pool, you may need to make additional, nuanced nips. Alternatively, cut the shape you want to fit a space but cut it shorter to compensate for the additional space you will need as you cut for groutlines. Make sense?
