not sure yet, we have no drapes in the windows, the house is high enough so that passerbys cant see in….i might use it as a room divider above a plant stand or place it in one of my numerous windows…

hmmmmm, both of your thoughts sound good. Maybe once it is done, it will “speak to you” and then you will know right where it should go. :-)

How wonderful that passerbys cannot see in through your windows. Your home must be so nice and bright all year long!!

Looks like it will be nice, Mario. It is a good size, and the pieces won’t be too small. I love those designs. ... classical. Show us when it is finished, please.

is this stained glass or leaded glass, as most often stained glass is done with copper foil and stained glass is leaded?

regardless….....when the sun shines through it, it will be stunning

i have not decided yet if its going to be tiffanied or camed….for sure it would be faster leaded but the putty is so expensive$$$, i’ll see….

Looks beautiful, Mario. What a great winter hobby to have. I also would like to see it when it is finished.

How long have you been doing this hobby? My wife and I took a class on stained glass before the summer and built a couple small projects, but with both of our reductions in pay there is an indefinite hold on it.. It’s not a cheap hobby, that is for sure!

Mario, it is lovely! I imagine you are anxious to get it done and installed. Be sure to let us see it done.

thanks folks, i have only been doing it for a year and yes it is a costly hobby…..but the finished art is timeless, glass takes centuries to disappear….
