SIDELIGHT

This sidelight panel is 11 x 77 inches, made to fit alongside an entryway door.  Our new door had two sidelights.  I made the panel, and installed it.  A year later we sold the house, and took the panel.  It now hangs freely beside our new front door.  I didn't have to make another panel.  It took me 40 hours--a Memorial Day weekend to do the whole project.  I actually made three parts, having the leaf stems connect through to the next panel.  I had some flower pieces from a few old projects that I reused.  I "love" working with glue chip glass.  The flower petals are iridized pink; the leaves are different greens.  I always make sure that I put a color border before making a border with bevels.  You can see how the bevels stand out next to the pink, and no part of the bevel is lost in a frame.  I used black patina.
