Fused Glass Splashback

I have a larger fused glass commission on the go at the moment - a long, wave shaped splash-back for a contemporary kitchen. The piece consists of 9 large tiles, and runs behind a range cooker and along the back of a sink.

This morning I drew out a template for each piece, using the kitchen dimensions, a wooden template cut to fit behind the range, several long straight edges and a piece of lead (which acts as a very malleable French Curve). Everything fits OK, I have most of the glass (I use Spectrum Sys96 for this type of work as it comes in bigger sheets than Bullseye), so now I just have to lay the kiln bed and start cutting.
