Alice in Wonderland at the Tea Party

Inspired by Disney's Alice in Wonderland, these 23in x18in panels come alive with a brilliant stained glass flair.  My name is Alice, so I've always been fascinated by the story.  I chose this scene because I could really zoom in on the characters while at the same time keeping them connected to each other.  This was my first project in stained glass, and I did everything using a simple hand cutter and breaker and ground out what I couldn't cut away with a Glastar grinder.  This made the apron for Alice really challenging as the glass was very thin and the curve near her neckline took a lot of grinding.  Needless to say, I broke a bit of glass trying to get things just right.  The panels now sit in my bedroom window and brighten my day.
