Tree Frog Panel Finished


This is a design I posted about a while ago. I finally got around to creating the panel. I think it turned out quite well. The diameter of the piece is 13" x 18", I used Youghiogheny glass in it primarily, maybe a little Spectrum and other scraps of other manufacturers I had hanging around. It's framed in a fairly wide leaf lead, and the hangers are actually a sling that goes from the left hook around the bottom of the piece and attached at the point that the right side hook is attached. The leaf of the lead is then burnished to fold in on itself. It's a safer alternative for hanging a round or oval panel that has a lead frame, as lead stretches.
