Thank you to my forum friends who gave me tips on this technique for plating glass. I read about Barry Masser on this forum and bought his books. I love his patterns but thought they might be to much for a first project. I decided on this pattern and just plated the dress area and put a clear textured glass as the final layer in the back.
It was quite fun to do and I would certainly do more of this type of stained glass.

Yes, I would do more of this! It looks so much more dramatic in person and it gives the window "depth".

Is the dress plated, or is it soldered at a different elevation than the figure?

The dress and the headpiece are plated. It has a gold color glass on the top layer and a green and white glass beneath it. The dark blue glass is some very old antique glass I picked up that was scrap and the very bottom layer is a clear textured glass.
