A friend of mine expressed interest in working on a stained glass project. Out of the various mediums of glasswork this was the one for which I was least suspecting to come across a collaborator. To my surprise, there was a particularly pleasant local vendor for any and all materials and tools required for the craft.

In accordance with my paper crane new medium “hello world” policy, which I have used in other projects, I settled on a projection of a paper crane. As this was my first stained glass piece, I aimed to minimize the number of distinct pieces of glass as well as any concave areas or curves. This allowed the project to commence without any special tools besides a scoring wheel (ie. no diamond grinder).

Ready for lead!
