Stained Glass for Kitchen Cabinet

 We still have one kitchen cabinet to complete. We decided to do leaded glass on the face and sides of the upper cabinet, so we designed a simple pattern. Then Kristen drew it out on the glass while Tyler cut.
 Working together, the pieces were all cut out quickly.
 Then they were fitted in the door. We have only cut the pieces for the front two doors, we will work on the sides shortly.
 Next came hours of copper foiling for Kristen. It looks so pretty once the copper is added.
 And then another laying out of the pieces. We built a frame around them to hold them in place for soldering. We will get to soldering it eventually but we have been working on other projects and don't want the lead fumes in the air when Sam is around.
