Patchwork mirror

After the leadlight panel, I learnt how to make a mirror using copper foil.  This mirror appealed to me because the pattern did not have any curves or circles.  Curves and circles are a bit tricky when you are learning to cut glass.  The patchwork pattern also allowed me a lot of freedom as the pieces can be arranged in any way as long as they fit firmly against the other pieces of glass and the mirror.  

This is a good pattern if you want to use up glass you have left over from other projects.  I had enough red, orange and yellow glass to made an identical mirror for my Mum.  In her mirror I used the coloured glass all the way around the border instead of the mirror / glass pattern on this one.  The stronger colour around the border was much more effective in my opinion.
