this was a commission from a customer for whom i restored some leadlights
it's an unusual type of installation because it will only be viewed from the outside (never backlit), so I got to use some cool materials like 4 colors of mirror (smoke, clear, bronze, and gold), faceted jewels, and opaque(ish) purple
it was a very gratifying project, something I've wanted to do for a while, and I'm grateful for the opportunity
I'm happy to answer any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. it would be great if there's any stained glass artists out there that find this video useful as a DIY or a stained glass how to tutorial, let me know if there's ways I can improve the videos to that end
