i have made soooo many of these with stained glass. Its pretty simple, you can hand cut the glass to any shape you want. and put the shapes together to make designs, once the designs are finished you lay contact paper on the top and pick up the design. Then you place that in the bottom of the frame and pour the concrete on the top. once dry, you flip the mold out and remove the contact paper, perfectly flawless everytime and you dont need all that water and the brushing at all..the glass is perfectly sitting at the top all surrounded by concrete... You can do this with colored concrete and all sorts of shapes. they are called mosaic stepping stones.. your video was awesome, thanks,

I prefer the all-over coverage because it doesn't matter what you put on it it will be visible and dazzle the eyes. It would be a good stepping stone to support a pot without losing the color burst dazzle. The swirl is a good accent stepping stone without a pot on it, like a beautiful burst of happy color.

The timing of everything... embedding, rinsing & brushing is critical and so clearly explained. TY!

I love Odell's work and the fact he has a moderate attitude with it. Also, he can get down on his knees and not make it look uncomfortable! Those pavers are really something by design and could serve many uses, such as a private home memorial for any deceased loved one. Maybe add a stone glass initial as suggested. Or maybe just to place a pot and bunch of flowers when you can't make a visit to the grave or cemetary. Today is my mothers birthday who unfortunately passed away several years ago.

@woodywood6961

3 жыл бұрын

Glass is kind of strange, its almost a liquid. Over time any sharp edges will dull down. In this case though, he specifically mentions using tempered glass. Commonly called safety glass. It breaks into squares not sharp shards so its a bit harder to cut yourself. I think being in concrete also offers a layer of protection because not enough of any rare sharp edge is exposed to cut into your skin. What I mean is your foot is supported either side by the concrete so the glass cant really cut you
