Grandfather Philip's Stained Glass

Thirteenth Century Jesus

This is a replication of a 13th century Jesus. In 300 years there was little change in style. The hair became a little less cartooned and simpler while the facial lines remained the same. I did this using a new technique for me. Instead of painting the matte with a brush and badgering it, then firing and doing it again and again to get the desired effect I used an air brush and kept adding layers as needed. This reduces the number of kiln firings to one. A substantial savings in time and energy. At this rate I should enter the current century sometime in 2025.
