Northern Lights Panel, Adding Green

 After soldering both sides of the panel, I draw the middle shape of the clear bevels and cut a couple different shades of green colored glass that will be beveled and bonded on top of the clear bevels later in the process.  I do this at this stage because the next part is to putty both sides, let it set for a couple of weeks before cleaning.

Northern Lights Design, Soldering

 Now that the panel is all pieced together, the next step is to solder the joints, both front and back.

Getting the panel turned around to solder the back side is a very tricky maneuver for a panel of this size.

Northern Lights Design in Process

 I have been piecing together the large Northern Lights stained glass panel.  Here are a few pics showing the process.

The color pieces are hand beveled in a couple of spots to add interest, light play and depth.  I am using zinc came for added strength and durability for this large panel.  

Stay tuned for more pics as the project progresses.
