Here are some photo's on the progress made so far.
I'm trying to make the lines as flowing as possible. Using the Tiffany technique was an option, but I'll be using that a little further up.
Basically I'm deciding on things as I go along. Some would say that is not the way to work but ... it's a window to be used in our own home. If it would be for someone else I would have to keep an eye on the original design.
In the brown glass you can see the structure of the 'water glass' very well.
It is important (I think) to keep the lines in which the pattern goes in the same direction in every piece.
Except the leaves, there I try to make the lines go as they would in the leaf.
The diamond shape, which is blood red, and some other pieces yet to be used , are the only pieces that are not cut from water glass.
I'll be glad when this part is over. I have learned from this and will use that knowledge while making the second window.
Next photo is a close up. For the top half of the diamond shape piece I used one strip of lead and clipped and cut it so I could fold it over the diamond shape.
Looks much better this way than using 2 different strips.
I tried that in the bathroom door window and liked the result so I thought to try it here too.
I'll be trying to get this whole part up until the first horizontal lines finished today.
The rest looks like a piece of cake ;-)
