The Power of Light: Illuminating Our Flying Spaghetti Monster Commission

Welcome to another peek Behind the Glass, a chance for me to share more details of my artistic process. One of the unique joys of working with glass is witnessing its dramatic transformation when illuminated. Even a simple lightbox view like this reveals the intricate details within each piece, but it's only a glimpse of what's to come. Natural light brings an entirely different dimension to the artwork—revealing subtle textures and movement within each piece that change depending on the time of day and your viewing angle.

This ever-changing quality is what makes stained glass such a dynamic art form. A piece that appears one way in morning light might reveal completely different characteristics by afternoon, creating an artwork that continuously evolves throughout the day.

The Journey Continues

With all of the glass now cut, you might think we're approaching the finish line—I certainly did when I first started working with stained glass! But in reality, we're only about 1/3 of the way through this project. The cut glass pieces are like the raw ingredients of a gourmet meal; there's still much preparation and assembly ahead before we can fully appreciate the final creation.

Stay tuned for our next update, where we'll explore the traditional art of glass painting—a technique that will add even more depth and detail to our Flying Spaghetti Monster commission!

By His Noodly Appendages, our creation continues to take shape!

rAmen! 🍝
