So here is my latest creation. I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't posted it. I am really proud of my 133 piece panel. This was difficult for me to do because of the number of pieces. There were several times I had to walk away so I wouldn't break the glass in frustration. 
Some of the pieces are so small that I wasn't able to foil them without completely covering them. I then had to go back with a razor and cut some of the foil off so the light could come through. I really liked the butterflies. They were cute. It is hard to tell from the pictures, but the butterflies are purple and yellow with a black center. The purple is hard to see through. 
Stupid me...when I was soldering the panel, I went to flip it over and start on the other side. The plate actually fell out of the panel and hit the wood table. It only fell 2-3 inches, but it broke in half. Thank goodness I had purchased two plates because I thought I would do two panels (that was until I cut everything out for the first panel). So I was able to save the panel because I had an extra plate.
Just as I finished, I was straightening out some of the lead lines on the blue border. I had my little chisel hammer, and went dink, dink, crack. I broke one of the blue rectangles. However, that is easy enough to fix.

That's some pretty good artistic talent you have there. I know I don't have that so at least you and Scott have it.
Your stained glass is a pretty piece of work.
