Grandfather Philip's Stained Glass

Victorian Panel

Victorian stained glass almost always used opaque glass that did not allow light transmission. This pane is foil and lead came construction and is expandable like the "Dragon Knot". It contains 165 pieces of glass. It was very difficult and it seemed that if anything could go wrong, did go wrong. Glass broke after assembly and one piece was put in backwards! It was repaired before it was finished. Beware of symmetry!

This panel won a first place blue ribbon at the Ephrata Craft Fair in 2001
