Stained glass roses for the outer door

Jo Forrest October 25, 2020

I had to re-draw a simpler design for the triple panel front door window. The first one had pieces that were just too small to cut out of glass. I really like it too…but this will look fine. I’m going to try to get clear glass jewels for the panels. That should add a bit of sparkle.

This is the inside of the door, with the three panels of glass.

The second panel is the one I liked. I changed it a bit to make it fit the window size. It’s going to be mostly clear textured glass to let as much light in as possible, with some red, cobalt blue, and amber glass. The colours will go with the two panels I already made for the front foyer, and the stairwell. I found this on Pinterest.

The first of the small rose panels soldered together. It needs came around the outer edge, and a black patina. The black patina always makes it look 100% better.

The almost finished large rose window for the inner door. I still have to put the zinc came around the edge, and polish it, and polish it, and polish it…then install it.

The magnolia wreath for the front door. I added some blackberry decorations to it, and some gold glitter.

The zinc came is on, and painted. I have to flip them over and do the other side now, then I can install them.

I finished cutting the wood strips for the outside of the door. I don’t have enough to do the inside of the door right now. I bought all the wood strips Canadian Tire had. I’ll have to wait. It looks good though.
