Painted Light Stained Glass

Finished mirror

This is the first large mirror I’ve ever made.  I wish I had hired someone to take a good photo of it, because the ones I took did not do it justice.  I would love to do more mirrors like this.  I’ve posted the design I showed my client and the final piece to show how the process works.  The dimensions are approximately 30″x42″.  I used stock bevels 3″x3″ and 4″x4″, white Spectrum glass and had the center mirror custom beveled.  The outside framed is zinc metal.  To support the mirror, I soldered 2 strips of steel rebar to the back.  There are hooks soldered to the rebar for hanging.  To protect the back of the mirror I used a mirror sealant and I also adhered thick black paper to the back of each mirror so there will be no way of the mirror being scratched.  When the client’s send me a picture of the mirror installed I’ll be sure to post it.  It was shipped to Jackson, Wyoming!
