I want to learn myself traditional glasspainting. And as I am curious how these medieval masters did these perfect shaped clothes and drapes, I made this design to experiment with it.
I finished cutting out the pieces; after that I have to prepare the "paint" (which is very special and fine grained grey earth), then I can proceed with the "contour" procedure (making lines). That will be burned into the glass, after which I will do the "grissaille" procedure (adding shades). Another heating up, and then fitting the pieces into the lead. Still some way to go.

Very interesting to see your process- I had no idea how many steps were involved.
And I haven't even talked about the work already done. Or fitting the pieces into the lead frame. It takes quite some time. I make these panes in a specialised atelier (almost) every monday evening for three hours, and it takes about 3 months to finish a window like this. So different than sketching/painting, it's more like a craft than art.
