    Very nice, but could you really make it?

    I've always thought that stained glass had glass pieces of one colour only connected by lead strips, so you'd have to form a leaf (for example) out of separate pieces.

    On the other hand, I suppose you can paint the stain on glass as per your image to make a composite image on a single piece.

    Anyone know?!

    Either way, I like it Norman!

    I prefer the one you did last year, especially the larger lead thingy strips. They added to the realism.
    So this one should be called 'Stained Glass2'

    Not true. Look at the old church windows. The faces and such are made with chemical etching on the glass so I think Norman's design is very do-able and beautiful.

    Well done Norman.
