Celtic Knot Transom Panel

I recently finished this stained glass window using a simple but interesting Celtic knot design. These patterns are a bit tricky to layout initially but in time you get the overlapping right and it all looks good in the end.
Baroque clear glass was used for the main background. A medium green 50 mm faceted jewel for the center, a wispy green by Spectrum for the ribbon and a soft seeded amber by KOG for the inner background.
This panel is centered between two of the same size but contain a simple clear beveled star surrounded by again Baroque clear. The 3 panel set is very attractive overall.

Peace Dove Transom Window

Here is my latest stained glass pattern where I just finished numbering the drawing. There are a total of 395 pieces of glass to this 3 panel set. The ribbon area will have the saying "Be Strong in the Lord" and "Peace Be With you". The bottom corner areas will have accents of dogwood flowers.
The panel set will be installed in the transom of a local church with beveled glass sidelites beneath. Overall size is 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall.
I'll take photos when the installation is complete...





Here's a picture of the finished stained glass.
