Stained glass portrait

Well as if by a miracle, a stool on wheels turned up and took the strain from my very high mileage knees; a big thanks to my wonderful long suffering wife, xxx. 

Another long "bonding" session and a bit more glass cutting and the wonderful portrait is really starting to take shape. I have made a few very subtle changes, and although hardly noticeable they do enhance the overall effect, in particular the expression, which captures the whole personality. 

Really pleased so far. 

Stained glass portrait

Time marches on, unlike my knees which are now locked solid; must acquire some kind of bar stool on wheels. After numerous attempts to get the first eye right, I think we just about have it. I had to change several of the pieces around it for slightly different shades to get the accents looking better. This is a theme which continues as the picture progresses and I can see another couple of pieces which will need changing as well. Coming on nicely though.
