victorian panel preview

i've had this gorgeous swirly art glass for 10 years, never knowing exactly what to do with it. enter my sweet neighbor, joe! he said he'd been kicking around an idea for a frame, and told me to start thinking about the panel to go in it. i knew instantly what was going in there! the pattern (and the glass) took shape in my mind like a lightning bolt.

so, here's a preview of the panel. joe's working on a stain for the frame.

keep your eyes peeled...this is going to be a show stopper!
