That's beautiful!
The stained glass is so real! The colors and reflections are perfect.

But I agree with Boy about the frame.

Thanks Bruce and Ric

I'll take into consideration the thoughts about the wood frame for the next one (which I'll make a tutorial out of

)

It's very good! But tell me that you are NOT using lead ... we lost a dear family friend years ago, John Cavanaugh, who sculpted in lead... even with positive-pressure ventilation, it still did him in.

Does that copper foil get you away from using lead?

I'm not using lead or copper It's all done in Designer Pro X

The images aren't 100% vector as I use bitmap transparencies and a live effect, but the bitmaps I use are fairly high res and I have the live effects set to apply at 300 dpi

Ha! Good for you, sure faked me out! Now start thinking about using Xara to make colored transparencies that you could put between pieces of translucent plastic, and then into a (real) wood frame... it would be interesting to see what you come up with.
