The width of this panel is 9.5 inches and the height is 37 inches, which makes it perfect for a side light. It could also be hung in front of any interior window. This panel is available for purchace for $320.

Type of Glass

The clear textured glass in the background is called “Taffeta”. This texture resembles the fabric also called Taffeta. The glass allows light in but gives privacy for an entrance.The swirls in the clear glass mimic the lines in the flower itself. Picking the right glass for the design is one of Carolyn’s strong points. The leaves are made with colored GNA (German Antique) which is unfortunately no longer being produced, and there is nothing on the market today that matches its quality and beauty.

Construction

Copper Foil Technique used with 60/40 lead. A dark patina has been applied to the lead which makes the design “pop”. The frame is made with 1/4 inch zinc channel. Hanging hooks are incorporated into the frame and soldered into place. When you receive the panel, attach chain or fishing line to the hooks depending on the look you desire.
