Black Dog of Newgate

 Cutting glass and leading up the first element of a new window. The Black dog of Newgate is a tale from the old prison on that site, wherein the most evil of men pick the wrong victim unaware or his occult connections.

The next step is making chains out of glass.

Nevermore (joining and burning)

 Half way through this seemingly endless piece and I have added half of the three dimensional wings. Im pretty sure i have invented two new processes during the course of this window.

 I belive these are 1) transitioning between leaded light and copper foil in a single piece.                                

 2) burning a layer of ash onto the surface of the glass (carbonizing) and using a fine point to draw onto it. then i fix it with a matt varnish.

 

 Two more wings to go and then finishing with patina acid and black iron polish.

 Its getting there.
