@lightleadeddesigns 2/3's the way through this entrance window set project today. Tomorrow I'll be making a start on the big arched window that's going to be fitted above. If you look closely you can see the design drawing on my laptop. The design was actually handdrawn by my client and I made a couple of little suggestions and tweaks and the project is coming together nicely 🤗 #stainedglass #handmadewithlove #makersoftiktok #asmrvideo #asmrmaking #glassartwork #making #howitsmade # #progressvideo #homeproject #curbappeal #traditionalcraft #traditionalcrafts #traditionalcraftsman #stainedglassartist #makertok #tiktokmaker #homedecor #homeproject #periodfeatures ♬ Free Fallin' - Tom Petty
