Repair to Stained Glass Cross

This is a small repair done to a cross owned by a repeat customer.  Since she lives a distance away, we used the US mail to send it back and forth.

Here's the cross as it came to me, with the bottom cracked.

I melted off the solder around the connection areas and removed the broken piece.

Melting off the old solder.

I didn't have an exact match for this glass, nor could I locate the match, so I sent photos of several possibilities to my customer.  She chose this very pale amber.  Here I've made a template for the replacement piece.

Here's the finished cross. In order to match the existing patina, I mixed copper with black.

 Thank you Cindy for calling upon me for your stained glass repairs.
