Stained glass window for door

This is a stained glass window I just finished for an antique door that leads to my studio. It is near the tile backsplash (another board) so I tried to echo the layout of that project but not the colors (it is orange and white dominant). My father made some wonderful stained glass (posted soon) so I inherited his equipment and supplies. I am happy that all this glass came out of what he had collected. The highly textured glass came from an old window he was trying to restore.

Cutting the glass, laid out on the light board. A few of the pieces have been foiled. It was really hard getting the right gap between the glass pieces. I used half inch foil which was a mistake- it created a huge area I had to foil.
Initial layout, trying to figure out the color. It was really helpful to be able to work with the composition on the light board.
Back view of door. This needed a lot of strength so I used supporting copper ribbon and a piece of rebar down the middle.
