Here are some pictures of completed windows we made using Jurgen products.   They have yet to be installed in the restaurant they were made for, but I thought you might like to see some pictures.  I think we ended up with 25-30 windows.  Please consider the pictures as submittal in the glass painting contest if they meet the criteria.

Silver

by Burton Longenbach

Hingham, MA

Above is a photo of a stained glass window which I titled “Eternal Spring.”  The window was made with your lacquer-based glass paints and liquid leading on 3/16” plexiglass.  It measures 3’ x 4’ in size and retained in a commercially made light box.  It was designed and made to provide a meditative and decorative focus in a window-less prayer and meditation room in a Continuing Care Retirement Community here in Hingham, MA. This was my first experience using the Jurgen Glass paints, but with extensive professional experience in painting, design and teaching.  I was able to achieve all that I had hoped for in my design planning because of the brilliance and transparency of the Jurgen glass paint colors and the ease of their application.  Follow-up workshop activity with retired seniors using the left-over colors, liquid leading and one of your design reference books has shown that the complete novice can quickly master the process and achieve masterful results without difficulty.

I do overglaze painting. This piece started with a white glazed vase. I painted my cat , Boskie as well as a turquoise band at the top and bottom of the vase with china paints that were kiln fired to 1480 F . I then covered the top and bottom band with the

Jurgen Crystal Clear lacquer paint and after it dried, I covered it with Violet luster and fired that to 1380 F . This allowed the previous turquoise underpainting to show through the now violet crystal patterns. The white background was also covered with the clear crystal paint and then with Mother of Pearl luster. It is difficult to see in the picture but it has a subtle quartz crystal visual texture to it.. The piece was then kiln fired one more time to add the gold. I LOVE this stuff!!!

Honorable Mention

By Deb Dayhoff of Chantilly, VA

The attached photo is a stained  glass window for Grace Fellowship Church in Chantilly, VA.? The eliptical window measusres 5' at the bottom and the rectangular piece is 4' x 8'. I used the lacquer based colors with the liquid lead to produce the stained glass.? The grapes in the top window carry a theme in our church which is derived from John 15, "I am the Vine and you are the branches."? The bottom piece represents our mission statement, with the Holy Trinity represented in the 3 rings at the top, the cross and the dove.? The design is original and the completion of the project was a collaborative effort from members of our church.? What a fantastic product you provide to give such stunning results.? When the sun hits this on Sunday mornings, the color is breath-taking.

I do overglaze on porcelain .. I start with a piece of porcelain that has been clear glazed, I then apply the clear Crystal lacquer to it.. and after it is dry , I wipe on lusters and then kiln fire them to approximately 1380 F ,,,,The lacquer burns away and leaves the luster in the crystal patterns... I also paint the piece first with china paint, kiln fire to 1480 F , then apply the crystal lacquer and after it is dry , I apply a dark luster and fire ... The under painting shows through the over layer of luster.

The roses on the magenta and purple bowl were painted in china paints and kiln fired...

I LOVE this stuff!!!

"here is a table top I made. I used a mixture of the lacquer paints and the crackle paints along with your leading. I don't know if you can tell but it's a double paned piece of glass and I injected water in between. it's a super cool effect in person!"

This is a sculptural piece entitled, "self-portrait:fridge" which is a 1953 GE fridge upholstered entirely in tempered glass which was stained with Jurgen stains, then smashed and used to cover the entire fridge. I then used floor grout to fill in between the pieces and flocked the entire inside with spray velvet flock
