Stained Glass Part 1

So people have been asking me to explain the steps in what it takes to make a stained glass piece, so to the best of my ability with a broken keyboard, I will try!

This particular piece was a commission requesting a rooster on a Harley.  It took me a while to come up with an idea, but when I did, I drew it on graph paper, and then blew it up to the size I wanted using the copier.  Notice that there is writing on each piece, that's the colors.
