Materials

  • Stained glass
  • Copper foil
  • Solder

Working large changes everything. A wide panel needs thicker lead so it does not sag, and thicker lead coarsens the drawing, so the pieces have to be divided again from scratch rather than scaled up from the small version. We photographed this one under a lamp, because it usually hangs indoors rather than in a window.
