Instructions for creating a free-form open leaded panel with zinc came plus bevels, nuggets, and jewels. A free-form skeleton for holding the glass pieces is created using various forms of zinc came. Galvanized wire is used to fill in spaces and enhance the overall design. The glass pieces, jewels, and nuggets are wrapped in copper foil and soldered into the design.
