    A TV news item last evening informed me that the acclaimed stained glass studios at my home cathedral have just completed a commission for a new 19 foot high window to be installed this springtime in The Church of the Incarnation in Dallas Texas.
    Before the panels are packed for shipment to Dallas they are on display in the cathedral crypt from today until February 22. I am a regular visitor to the cathedral and will try to get some pictures of the panels to share with you on here.
    Here is a picture of one of the stained glass artists working on one of the panels

    And I hope you will be able to open the video at the end of this news item which shows some of the work in progress

    I live in a suburb to the north west of Dallas, not familiar with the church but the area is making a comeback, it's one of the oldest business and residential areas. Do a google search for The Church of the Incarnation in Dallas Texas and you will see photos of where it is going.
    That should be beautiful installed.

    I'd love to have been there to see the artists at work on the windows. I've always been amazed at the fine detail that goes into painting glass like this and how superb they look once they are fitted and in place.
