do ppl like this draft design for a stained glass piece?
The design for a vertical rectangular panel, with a 1:2 aspect ratio. Four long vertical strips run along each of the left and right sides, with clusters of horizontal strips cross between them near the top and the bottom. The interstitial space is uncolored, indicating the use of transparent glass, while the vertical and horizontal strips are colored in International Orange.

first mirror!
a diamond-shaped stained-glass mirror viewed from an angle. it's framed in a warm wood, and around the boundary of the mirror is a border made up of alternating white and iridescent black nested chevrons made of paired irregular hexagons, with green triangles filling in the space. the top and bottom corners each have four such hexagons in white, in a cross shape that looks vaguely like a jasmine blossom. the left and right corners also have four such hexagons, in iridescent black, placed in a square with a green square filling them. A close-up of the bottom corner of the previously-described mirror. It's easier to see the lead work and the way the came criss-crosses itself.

in a world that does not want our voice

that does not want our existence

we will exist and thrive and be loud
Dyke joy has incomparable power. We blatantly celebrate our joy as an act of resistance against a society that attempts to extinguish our visibility, strength, and happiness.

today's dyke march value! initially this one was a bit confused because we tried to wedge "bodily autonomy" and "right to care" into the same place. but they're different!
Dykes know that every kind of medical care is a necessity. We won’t be satisfied until every person, including incarcerated people, can access every form of care they need without laws or institutions that restrict safe access to abortions, birth control, and gender-affirming care, and without any consideration of cost.

this one was really important to me.
We are Dykes who advocate fiercely for all Dykes and each other. We reject attempts to exclude or evict transgender and nonbinary Dykes of all gender expressions from a community to which they have always belonged. We actively protect their safety, dignity, and joy in every context.

another dyke march value!

this one is awesome and so easy to talk about. people get to define what they do with their bodies. full stop, no exceptions.
Bodily autonomy is the absolute right of every Dyke and every person. We refuse to recognize or tolerate laws that infringe on that right, including laws that criminalize sex work, and we affirm and celebrate the self-expression and self-care of all Dykes.

another day, another dyke march value!
We are Dykes of many races, nations, ages, faiths, abilities, sexualities, and genders. We celebrate each Dyke’s contribution to our full diversity, reject any attempt to exclude a self-declared Dyke, and refuse to tolerate behaviors like racism, classism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, religious intolerance, biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, ageism, ableism, and fatphobia

so for the last 9 months or so I've been involved with rebooting the SF dyke march. we're a week out and posting one of our core values every day, so that gives me a chance to talk about them—how we got there, what resonates with me. this is the first one on the list.
We Dykes are against war, imperialism, and all forms of genocide, including the ongoing US-backed genocide in Palestine. We oppose the use of political, institutional, and military power to oppress marginalized groups of people, including native peoples, Black people and other people of color, immigrants, asylum seekers, people with disabilities, and transgender individuals.

i made a thing
it's a keyboard. pink and purple keys and it's kinda glowy underneath looking back at the keyboard from the perspective of where your screen would be. it's definitely glowing purple underneath. also is that solder?? the keyboard is lifted up and now it is clear: yes, this is a keyboard made out of stained glass.

for those of you who only follow me on here, this is what I've been up to glass-wise.
a design for three glass panels, with ribbons of varying colors going through each frame three glass panels in progress on the workbench; a ribbon of varying colors goes through each.

Classic "survivorship bias" diagram, showing a World War II era military plane with red dots spread unevenly across it. The red dots represent places where planes had been struck by fire and returned to base safely. The blank areas represent areas which had not been shot in planes that safely returned to base, indicating that planes shot in those areas were likely to crash.

design is done. glass happening soon.
A pattern for a stained glass window. There is a pillar on either side stretching up to an arch that reaches between them. Under that arch are three panes divided horizontally, a lintel going across, a section divided into four that has an overlapping diamond set at the center, and below that are theee more panes. Recurring graphical themes are an angle continuing across the piece, and the inset of curve-ended narrow pieces in wide straight pieces.

just finished assembling this bb. the transition from foil to came is a STEEP learning curve but i can feel myself picking up speed already, and processes are clicking a bit.
A hexagonal piece of stained glass still under assembly on a work surface, viewed from above. It's stylized to show the orthogonal projection of a cube's outline in three colors; gold, white, and purple. It's floating on a dark textured background. The line work is straight pieces of metal between each piece of glass, and the perimeter is bordered with horseshoe nails to help the piece hold its shape.

right. stained glass.
An octagonal stained glass piece, largely formed by a criss-crossing lattice of white ribbons, covering a field of milky white clear glass, at the center forming an octagonal sunburst with the points being made of multicolored glass, and the center being a textured transparent glass with interlocking rings and stars, hanging in front of an out-of-focus view of a garden

alt text took 9 minutes and would've been more if I hadn't hit bsky's character limit
A geometric stained glass piece, being held upright by one finger at one pointed end. The piece is an irregular hexagon, 18 inches long from point to point and 7 inches across. There is a border in white opalescent glass, about 1 3/8 inches across on the top two and bottom two sides, and about 3/4 of an inch on the left and right. Running along the vertical axis are 9 clear transparent diamond shapes; the one in the middle is slightly larger than the other 8. In the middle of each of the left and right sides are additional diamonds, the same size as the first 8. Laid surrounding the diamonds are rectangular strips of glass, each about 3.75 inches by 0.75 inches. They are varied in tone, with clear textured, milky bubbled, green transparent, and aqua transparent being the four types of glass. The ones closest to the center wrap around the center diamond, and one of each glass is represented. The others form chevrons with the diamonds at the apex.

have i mentioned stained glass
A square stained glass panel. There are translucent green squares in each corner, connected by a translucent white border. Seeming to float above the border and above a background of textured transparent colorless glass is a transparent green figure, almost like a Celtic knot; the shape is made up of two ovals at right angles to each other.

more stained glass!
A geometric stained glass panel, propped up on a table. The panel is diamond-shaped with an outer white translucent edge. Inside is a green transparent outline, surrounding an inner colorless textured transparent diamond made of four quadrants. In the center is a green transparent square, and at the center of the edges of the panel, there are colorless transparent textured triangles pointing inwards.
