It's brilliant when you get the opportunity to show off the skill of the original sheet glass designers in a new creation. This panel was based on some previous designs of mine (shown below) and adapted by the customer to fit their shaped door panels and fanlight.
Drawing inspiration from the above the customer produced a beautiful design and selected a palette of glasses (both old and new) from which the shifts in texture were built up and decorative features added, pasting up the glasses to see how they caught the light and worked next to each other.
Here are a few detail shots of the finished panels....
And here the finished product...
