It has taken me 8 months in my spare time to complete this snowflake window. It has 1,049 pieces and is 36 inches in diameter. The thinest piece is 3/16" constructed with 1/8" lead.
The infinitesimally small seed that produces the giant is the winner...
I will hang it for now in a wood frame I will make. It might get sandwiched between 2 pieces of plate glass for protection as it is very fragile with the long thin pieces running in all directions...

I love that!!! How did you get started doing them, and do you do ones with colors in them??
The irridescent glass is very pretty for a snowflake though!!! I have a thing for stained glass hangings....I love putting big ones in my windows, of course I buy mine.
Big question - I have always loved Frank Lloyd Wright's frequency break down of the geodesic icosahedron turning 20 equal lateral triangles that make a sphere in to much smother curves.
I have always loved plants an when I was 20 I saw a terrarium made of pentagons and octagons - a polyhedral and loved the shape. My dad taught me to cut glass when I was 15 and 16 at the green house. I made the terrariums with coloured glass - put a light in and poof a lamp - ugly now I think of it... I broke my leg in a cave-in in a ditch working as a plumber so I was off for 5 months and told not to walk for 3 to 5 weeks - so that weekend I signed up for lessons. I eventually started teaching stained glass there.
Funny how our destiny's are shaped and molded by the good and bad things that happen through out our lives.
I have some of my work here if you wish to look. I have a lot of very close up pictures of flowers as well.
