Get Some Basic Stained-Glass Design Ideas

So first we will decide what we are going to make. What is going to be the design the vision is the most important thing of any creative project to start out with some idea of what we want to create. I am thinking that I want to have a very simple design of some little gold spirals surrounded but turquoise so I have a few pieces of already cut glass that I will create a little swirl of yellow going through what I am thinking will be a turquoise background. Now I have some here that might just fit in perfectly and I'll just play with this until I am thinking oh this is beautiful and then I wrap it up, create the background and start wrapping and even if it looks a little scattered by the time I've invested all the energy into wrapping and soldering it starts to take on a beauty that I never imagined. Now this is getting a little complicated but I don't have to solder or I mean I don't have to cut any new pieces yet but I might I think that that is interesting enough and if I look through the light that's underneath the table I am actually able to see how its going to look in the future when it's mounted on a window. So I think this is pretty much what I like and so I will now, in my next step, cut more glass that will fit exactly into this shape to create my panel.
