Here is the transfer drawing for the central panel of the Joan of Arc mosaic. There is a section above this with the words Jhesus Maria that will be in black on a gold background, and two sections on either side with scrolling acanthus leaves. The two side sections stand out several inches from the central mosaic, similar to a fireplace surround and mantel.

Yes, that is chain mail on her sleeves, and no, I have not been smoking crack.

I've ordered a lot of new glass for this, including some iridescent colors to add to the lilies. Overall, I think the colors are going to be a bit more subdued than the Virgin of Guadalupe.

I can't wait to get started...
