Architecture in Crochet Project – Exeter Cathedral Stained Glass Window with Stone Tracery part 3.

With a 3 D effect in the crochet I have added some shading and depth to this beautiful window.  I have used two different techniques to achieve this look one style on the frame of the window and another on the circles as I begin to build the stone tracery of this intricate window design.  The pieces are not sewn on yet and will have a more finished look once I do down the road.  I think I will design more of the stone tracery before I start sewing the pieces on to make sure I like where it is going in scale etc.

Here are a few links to some great YouTube videos on Gothic Architecture: (Thanks Deb for the suggestion of checking out these fabulous video’s)
