Now that the basic 1" frame is complete, I started filling in the gaps between the leading strips with liquid leading to "solder" the joints together.
I'm not worried about the gaps between the leading strips. I'll fill them later with liquid leading.
Same as the picture above but after the gaps have been filled in.
I try to be as neat as possible when I "solder," but the liquid leading tends to be a bit sticky so I generally have to come back with a razor blade once the leading is dry and scrape any excess off.
Now the fun stuff can begin! I started adding the little details that really make the "stained glass" come to life like the wavy lines in the top two corners and the little detail lines between the 1" borders. Once all these lines have been placed, soldered, and have had time to dry, I can begin leading the flowers. While I'm waiting for things to dry, I'm going to try drawing my basic flower shape on paper to find out about how large I want them to be.
