Almost there, the two plane flanking panels are finished and the centre panel is assembled. Had a slight change of tack with the centre pattern, even the thinnest lead came looked a little chunky and we couldn't quite achieve the delicate elegance the client was looking for. So we copper foiled the centre piece and set it within the lead came of the blue oval. Looks a treat. As always my photos don't do justice to the subject, but you get the idea; they will look beautiful fitted.

Lead lights
After a bit of a lull whilst some rot was put right in the frame, we now continue apace. All glass cut and the first panel finished. Photos show it once leaded and ready to solder, and after soldering and puttied waiting the big cleanup. I should have the other two panels finished this weekend, but if the weather is good might go sailing instead.

Lead lights
Next project came as a bit of a bit of a rush job, the client is changing the bathroom colour scheme and really needs new windows to complement it. Currently three small pieces of textured glass with stick on lead strips and some yellow paint. Replacing with three lead lights, each with a dark blue border and the centre panel with a simple oval design reflecting room colours. Collected materials and drew the cartoons today.
