Stained Glass Door

My eldest son started University last September and the day before he had a cafuffle with his younger brother.  Somehow between them a panel in the door broke all over his brother and of couse it was non of their faults.  Luckily there wasn't any serious injuries but I ended up with a window to fix.   Any way after we had all calmed down and when I came back from taking my son to University, (a proud moment and sad one as he would be staying in residence)  I thought it was a good opportunity to make a stained glass panel.   So this is the result.....


All made using the traditional stained glass method with lead came.  




Work in progress on the left and after the soldering was complete on the right.
Panel complete before I fitted it into the door.  Just wish I had more time to do this.  I love it.
