Designing/Fabricating Stained Glass for Entryway part 2

Last post I showed the design for an entryway with and without color.  The next several posts will be showing different steps in the fabrication process. This step is showing some of the color and clear pieces that have been hand beveled. If you missed seeing a previous post about hand beveling glass here is a link to the video demonstrating a little of the beveling process youtu.be/823TMbZoNDE 
Here is another link showing a glass cutting demonstration:  youtu.be/2BdC69pmsp4

Designing for Entryway

I have a client who is remodeling their entryway and want stained glass for the front door and two sidelights.  After discussing what elements they like, the flow of the space, colors and textures of glass I drew several designs and this is the one they chose.


Here is a diagram of what the new door and sidelight window framing will be:



The stained glass will be sandwiched between tempered glass, different details such as the dimensions of the stained glass will be different from the tempered glass; need measurements of the width of framing between the sidelight glass and front door glass so the design will line up correctly and other elements.  

Here is the design with color added and textures of glass labled:
