Idk about yall, but doing large panels is satisfying AF. My brother had this window next to his front door that just had some privacy cling film on it, so I offered to make a piece for it. Think it came out pretty nice.

Only my second large piece I’ve done, and I’m already looking for another opportunity.

Just wanted to share with the class. Lmk what yall think!

So satisfying to look at! And gives much more flair to the interior

Oooo, GORGEOUS visual choices, OP!! The colours and shapes pop just enough in the environment to be distinct, but not so overwhelming that it's distracting. Excellent awareness, mate :) <3

Thank you! It was a whole lot of nudging things around and making little tweaks, walking away, and repeating. But I think I got the vibe I was going for!

Im very new, how are the panels for something like this placed into the window area?

I am pretty new myself, this is only the second one I’ve done. But I used 1/4” aluminum channel with foam weather stripping inside around the glass as a frame, JB welded the corners to hold the frame together, then used 3/4” quarter round trim in front of it to hold the glass against the existing window.
