Some opinions please, maybe some advice

Hello all,

I've been working with leaded glass for little over a year now and
starting to get the hang of the technique. At least, I think do. I've
made some quite different things, but I'm sort of looking for a style
of my own.

I know I like the ornaments and patterning of eastern cultures,
especially the tapestry and I'm trying to integrate these patterns
into my designs. Sometimes I think it's a bit awkward though, because
tapestry allows a much more fine-grained design than you can ever have
when using leaded glass. Therefor I try to combine leaded glass with
Tiffany.

Anyone that does the same thing (combining Tifffany and leaded glass)
or maybe knows someone who does? Or anyone that got some opinion or
constructive criticism for me. Her are a few of my designs :

Tiffany did a lot of work that combined foil and lead.

If you're looking to add increased detail to your designs, you might
consider fusing or painting. An increasing number of glass artisans
are including fused (and slumped) components into their stained glass
work. You can even produce woven glass with not only the design, but
the texture of woven cloth.

I've seen flashed glass panels that were sandblasted or acid etched or
otherwise abraded, double-plated into layers that look like they were
Persian rug-inspired.

Thanx for the responses.

If you know of some examples on the web of cloth/carpet like glass
art, please link them for me. I'm very curious about what can be done
with the techniques you mentioned (fusing, sandblasting, acid
etching).
