HEM Annex - Transparent Windows

Since the HEM is home to HEX and lots of experimental equipment, I imagine there would be frequent flashes of light from various sources, so I cut out the printed windows and replace them with copies printed on velum (thanks to Matthew S for the suggestion).  I'll add some internal lighting later.





To make the new windows I simply copied the existing artwork, reprinted on velum, and glued inside the wall.





When lit, the window are sort of "negatives" of the leaded-glass panes.  In hindsight, I think I'd print another layer with the cross pattern of leading in black, and glue behind the first transparency to limit the light to just the dirty glass areas.
