So here we go, our project is essentially done. This isn’t, you know it is a small little kind of a thing we made and you know we kind of cut the pieces sort of quickly and so it is not exactly square but of course it takes practice. The more time you spend on something the more precise your cuts are, kind of the better the look. This isn’t bad for kind of just a first project and something we did sort of quickly. So I have cleaned it up with soap and water, I’ve got my, all my joints are soldered, I have actually tinned the edge too, you can see how it is nice and shinny on that edge and so this will look really nice kind of propped up in my window and it was good practice for my next project. You can see light shinning through it here so, so have fun with it and again this is just a basic introduction to stained glass and if you want to keep doing it you can take a class or you know there is certainly a lot of books available, so good luck with it.
