Sometimes, when building a window, I wonder if I should stop short of my original idea.

When I build a window like this one using my flame working, I always start with the back glass to attach my pieces to. I think of it as my canvas.

This allows me to move pieces around before using the UV adhesive to attach them. After I have attached several sections, I can lift the window to see its development.

This photograph was taken when I used the field around my shop to complete the window. It wouldn’t necessarily work in its final installation.
