It started with a picture of our dog as a puppy
Then, using Photoshop, I made a stained glass design (all rights reserved, thank you)

then I numbered the pieces (total pieces 57)

And traced it onto mylar

Then cut the mylar into pattern pieces

then I glued the pattern pieces to the glass as a guide to cutting the pieces (this is the way my mother in law works, I know other folks trace directly onto the glass using a lightbox or whatever but I'm new so I'm just doing what I know will work)

then cut and grind, cut and grind. I'm getting better at cutting so I don't have to grind nearly as much.

then foil all the pieces and assemble upside down


and then after soldering (inexpertly still, sigh) , washing, adding patina, then washing again

Next... The Who ?
we'll see
