Step 3Line in the "stained glass"
Using a thin (the thinner the better) permanent black marker line in the lead cames (well that's what they are called in leaded lights).
I found an embossing pen at a local craft store, which doesn't give a very deep emboss, but does give quite a credible effect. Mind you a fine black marker would have easily done the job, and the embossing pen did try to blob a bit... this was my second attempt after i slightly messed up on the first one.
Notice that I have put lines across the white areas to break up the letters. In real life the lamp is made of stained glass and if you have ever tried to break glass you will know that you have to be a genius to get curved pieces. Well they were very clever at breaking the glass, but they still broke up into manageable pieces and then stitched it back together with copper or lead strips, so that is the authentic look you are going for.
