How it was done

Technique: Leaded panes, jelly fills
In the chair: 3 h 05

Built the way a real leaded window is: the leading is painted first as a wandering black web, then each pane is filled with a jelly so the color sits translucent over the base rather than flat on top of it. The jellies need three coats each to reach depth without going opaque, which is where most of the time went.
