You can lead(light) a fairy to water...

.


Last December I did some leadlight panels (stained glass in some circles) for a tall, thin window in our pantry. I was really happy with the results, except for one thing: I felt I had chosen badly when selecting the colour for the wings of the fairy in the bottom panel (left side, above). I felt that they were too dark. But that meant cutting into the 'finished' panel, removing the dark pieces, cutting new ones and then reassembling everything. It could all go horribly wrong.

This afternoon I bit the bullet.

And am happy with the result.

  1. How beautiful it looks Lee, that does look better, all of the colours look brighter. :)
    I also think the lilies are lovely.

    I have been looking through your
    posts of your 'Great Adventure', what a wonderful trip, a tapestry of moments, cultures, colours, sights, sounds to name just a few, something very special to look back on. :) ♥ XO

  2. It's beautiful! I do love me some fairies... the winged kind, you know. Well, actually, I love a couple of the non-winged kind, too, now that I think about it :)
