Progress with the glass

Well, have been struggling through quite a difficult section but am pretty pleased with the way Nick and Naomi's window is shaping up.

The tricky bit is where the trunks and branches lead up to the main crowns of the trees and the bits wobble about so quite a bit of recutting has taken place - but am now looking forward to reaching the redder sun areas to balance the strong greens at the base.

Initially, some very warm orange pieces were planned - as below:

Have to say that although it looked a great colour, seeing it against the purples and blues it jarred so went back to the drawing board and cut another piece.

The colours look quite bright against the white paper but when it is against the light they will appear paler and I am looking forward to getting it cemented and lifted up to see how it really works.
