That's it! That's the last bit of lead! Well, not really, I still need to put that top bit of boarder lead in, but that'll take all of three minutes to do. 
I'm so happy!
It's looking like I'll get everything done in time to pass the class!
Expect an update on my other project either tomorrow night or Sunday.

Congrats on finishing this piece! I am especially impressed with your leading junctions, where they touch eachother. It not only makes the piece stronger, but makes soldering much easier. I can't tell if you use one, but a lead stretcher is essential. "Fresh" lead strips are weak, limp, and will kink, twist, and continue to soften over time due to heat and gravity. I offer a suggestion to be sure and stretch all the lead you intend to use for lead lines longer than 5 inches. It helps keep straight lines straight, and creates more uniform curves. If you do have waves or kinks in your lead lines after soldering, try using the back end of a wooden brass bristle brush to gently push the lead back before applying glazing putty.
Good luck in your glass future! You've discovered a very creative and satisfying artform!
