The really, really neat thing about stained glass is you can literally make it from garbage. There is lead in between the glass panels. Lead is literally waste product from various refining processes. The glass can be shards of glass from broken windows that you paint.
If you look closely at this example, like any other, there are tons of imperfections. You don't need to be very good to make stained glass. Just persistent.
A nigger would throw a brick through that without a second thought.
In a town near me, there are several old churches that had beautiful stained glass windows, though not nearly as intricate as this one. After several of windows had bricks thrown through them, they had to put plexiglass covers over them. Over time, the sun has baked the plexiglass to an ugly yellow hue. Its to the point where you can barely see the colors of the window from the outside and even from the inside the colors get a piss color tint to them like its a video game from the late 2000s.

the paintings are exceptional. It takes 10k hours to develop craftsmanship at this level. it's quite beautiful. a treasure of white excellence.
