'Middle Earth' Lantern ~ Stained Glass- From Design to Completion.

Inspired by the theme of my new ( to be) workshop, I've made a lantern which I hope captures the feel of moonlight through a leafy wood.

First I sketched a design...

Then I cut the glass and painted the pieces. I scratch in a design and then the glass is fired in a kiln.

The pieces are then soldered together to make the lantern.
