New Stained glass window - Butterfly motif

If you've ever seen this type of wood, it actually looks out of focus in real life. It's actually a really good representation of the real thing in my mind.

Frances should go into production (of the real thing).

You've got this down pat!, Frances.

Class work Frances

. I love the lead-work, or should it be copper-work? The joints are perfect and glass texture is really good. Yes, a tutorial would surely be most welcome.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments

I'll look at doing a tutorial soon, but I have a job for a client I've got to put first.

Beautiful work Frances! would love to have a window like that.

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
