That flower must be an old and popular stained glass design. The house we lived in when I was very young (early 1950s) had a stained glass foyer window with that flower design in the center. In fact, that's what started my interest in stained glass - wanting to re-create that window. The house was built in the '20s or '30s. I'm working on that window now! Enjoy your videos very much.
It is a traditional leaded flower design! I loved it! It’s just a great leadwork design for beginners. Such a cool story, thanks for sharing! And thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoy the channel!
I'm binge watching your videos. 😍I've noticed that you put your thumb behind the cutter as you make the arc, and at first I thought the thumb was helping to push the cutter along. But now I think that does two things--it steadies the blade and keeps it from wandering, and it holds the blade at a consistent distance from your fingers which act as pivot points for making the smooth arc. Am I seeing that right?

You are such a great glass cutter….I could watch you for hours 🤩
Oh my gosh thank you! I plan on making a series of asmr process videos and doing way better editing.
What does asmr mean? Also, you are proof that you do not have to cut edge to edge! How many years have you been doing stained glass?
@@theresevarney4715 asmr is basically like satisfying sounds? I have been doing stained glass for almost 3 years 😄

Haha yes it’s definitely how i guide my cutter along the pattern lines. 😊
Why do squeeze your pliers on the circle of glass when you are done cutting it? I've seen you do it before, Interesting!
So I like to completely crack my score line on the entire shape before breaking it off. It makes for a much cleaner break and chips and pieces.
