At right above: When 

 each tiny part of the 

 pattern has been covered

At right: The central panel is a large stained-glass window.

Putting the final touches on the 

 pajiel shown above. The artist 

 is working with the panel

 to judge the light effects. At 

 the right of the panel is a chart
