This window was nerve wracking to cut!  I had large piece of Uroboros glass I wanted to use and the background had to all flow together.  It took awhile to figure out how to make the bluebird stand out and when I turned the glass so that the yellow surrounded the bird’s head, that was it.  Thankfully it all worked.  I love the final look!
