I'm very glad to have changed the design so it will be one window instead of two identical ones.
In the FOKA shop I found beautiful flaming red and yellow glass which will be fitted all around the edge with bright red squares in the corners.
The bottom part is completely finished now and I have made good progress today with the centre part. This is the part where the Tiffany flower (some people say it looks like a butterfly) will be fitted.
The rectangular pieces and the strips are easy to do so that went really well.
I forgot to say that at the bottom and at the top of the centre part a steel-lead strip is used to make the window more stable.
The surrounding lead strips are regular 6 mm strips as the window will be placed in a frame in the door.
In the photo's these rectangular pieces look like they are of a green colour but that is a distortion because of the green paper underneath it. It is all yellow waterglass like used in the centre of the window.
To solder the Tiffany piece together with the other pieces of glass it must be a tight fit so that will take some time to get it right, but it will be very nice to combine the lead strips with the Tiffany technique.
The straight lines surrounding the "Flower" will be lead strips and that part of the surrounding glass that touches the "Flower" will get a copperfoil pasted on it so to solder it tight to the Flower.
I have tried this once before in another panel and I like this combination of the lead strips and the finer lines you get with the Tiffany technique.
