Order of the Pelican June 2016

I was awed to do this scroll for my Laurel's induction into the Order of the Pelican - Mistress Nest.

First I had to find a picture of a Pelican that I liked.  My apprentice sister Elaine found just the one for me.I am sorry but I am not sure of what window this comes from

My cartoon for the piece is the picture below.

I wanted to border to be different than I normally do so I study various glass windows and decided on a painted small circle design

This picture shows some of the pieces of the Pelican as I finish them and roughly lay them into the design.

Then I put the rest of the pieces in but not soldered yet

After soldering and patina

Then the final finished piece
