Stained glass

Marion, my neighbor and landlady in Invergordon, makes mosaics and stained glass.  I admired the mirror in our house and found that she made it.

We talked over ideas and I ended up deciding to make a stylized leaf in fall colors. Here’s the studio space. Who wouldn’t want to make stuff in a greenhouse overlooking the ocean?Here’s my leaf from pattern to completion:
