The Flying Spaghetti Monster Commission Continues: Design Revisions and Glass Cutting

Welcome back to The Scrolls of Geek Orthodox, where we continue our behind-the-scenes journey of creating a custom Pastafarian stained glass piece. In our previous post, we shared the initial sketches and concept development. Today, we're moving forward with design revisions and the beginning of the glass cutting process.

Client Feedback and Design Evolution

After reviewing the initial composition with our Kentucky client, we made an important design adjustment. The original design (left) placed too much emphasis on the supplicant figure rather than highlighting the majestic presence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. In response, we reduced the size of the human figure and modified our color palette to create a more hierarchical design that properly showcases the noodly divinity.

From Pattern to Glass Cutting

With the design finalized and approved, it was time to transfer our pattern to glass. The images above show the final glass pattern and the beginning of the intricate cutting process. As you might imagine, the noodle-y appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster present quite a challenge when cutting glass pieces! Each curved element requires careful scoring and breaking to maintain the organic flow that's essential to capturing the essence of His Noodly Appendage.

Stay tuned for our next update where we'll share more progress on this unique commission project. The glass assembly stage is where our Pastafarian piece really begins to take shape!

rAmen! 🍝
