HELEN 355 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Funny thing is that I would wear a dress like that, but more covered chest area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynxster4 2,051 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Hi, my friends! I've been deeply involved in researching stained glass. I've watched and/or read many tutorials (mostly Photoshop) on the subject. I didn't care for most of the results, so I decided to create my own with the plugins we have on hand in PDN. I studied stain glass in person and looked at many pictures. How surprised I was to find out there are quite a few different types of stained glass. I will open with Opalescent Stained Glass, which is opaque, has subtle color variations and is smooth. Comments are welcome! Please enjoy. ***I will be adding more as I explore different types of glass*** Edited July 28, 2017 by lynxster4 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pixey 3,234 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 OH.......... So, so pretty they are . The flower is really spectacular (and I'll bet Seersoe likes it too). Great work! FYI - there is a tutorial on stained glass on the Fans board here which may be of interest as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynxster4 2,051 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hello friends! As I promised, here is the next installment of my exploration of stained glass. This is an example of Translucent Hammered Glass, which is semi-transparent and has a texture applied to one side during the rolling process. You can tell immediately I used the Crystallize Plugin. Fair enough; nothing too difficult about that. It's the work done on the color layer underneath that's important for proper highlighting. This took me about a week to get it 'just right'. Some layers are duplicated with 'multiply' or 'overlay' blend modes applied. Some are darkened, some are saturated and some are just left alone. I hope this picture conveys the subtle highlights (or not so subtle!) and the richness of color of the stained glass. Comments always welcome. Please enjoy! ***A side note: Every piece of 'glass' was done individually. Some pieces have multiple layers to them, all carefully orchestrated to create the effect.

Maximilian 1,662 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 Bravo! It looks well-hammered to me! I like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynxster4 2,051 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks, Max! Glad you like it! I'm wondering when you are going to try the stained glass tut! Now I'm thinking you are using an older version of PDN due to your computer. Do you have shapes? I can't remember.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
