When in doubt, try the opposite.

Traditionally, one would bevel the accent pieces and leave the background uneventful. Trying the opposite, I beveled the background and used rippled stained glass for the accents.

The combination resulted in a soft, glowing window, where the light played a crucial role in enhancing the beauty of the glass as it shimmers off the background and the foreground.

This subtle uniqueness is what makes art glass such a beautiful architectural accent.
