| This is the original design . |
| This is how the final pattern turned out. |
| (You can click on any picture to enlarge it.) |
| I made trace patterns for the branches and flowers. |
| This is the flower cut using the pattern on the left |
| The pattern for the flower on the right |
| I used 1/8" lead came to build the flowers |
| I build on top of a full size pattern. I start in the left corner usually and build up and out. Except for the edges every piece on this window is hand cut and then ground to fit. The border I was able to just measure and cut. I used 1/4", 3/16" and 1/8" round H lead came on this window. |
| These pictures just show the progress as I build the window. I build up to the top to finish one half and then start at the bottom and build up the second half. The arrows you see on the clear glass are there so I don't get the grain of the glass wrong and turn a piece the wrong direction. |
| The first window finished with the wood frame. |
| Reflected light |
| Light shining through. |
| This will take you |

| Both windows are built, framed and the frames are painted |
| Packaged and loaded for the long trip to Atlanta. I worried about every bump in the road. |
| Finally they are installed. Everything went well without a hitch. They really look good and make a big impact when you walk into the bath. These are over a corner garden tub. |
