Gryphon Glassworks @gryphonglassworks.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Then comes glass selection. There's more to it than just color though. You need to think about: - Color - Opacity - Pattern All of these have to harmonize with each other and your vision. For example, you don't want the body colors to have different opacity or they'll feel disconnected. 230
Gryphon Glassworks @gryphonglassworks.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Oh ya, wanna add to this, often times when I'm picking glass, I'll end up considering one that hadnt been a part of my original vision, but is in my stock, and I handn't thought about. This is most often the case for backgrounds. 110
Gryphon Glassworks @gryphonglassworks.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Then you take your vinyl pattern, stick it on the glass, and cut it. To cut it, you use a scoring wheel, and a combination of your hands, running pliers, and grozing pliers to break the or glass into shape. The back side of the scoring wheel can be used for tapping the glass to propagate cracks. 110
