The design is the rose window at the East end of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco where I sing every week. I'm really pleased with how the color from the anodized aluminum shines through them, giving the illusion of stained glass.
I also made a pendant. I've strung it here on 5 cables but also am waiting on a chain for it, as I think, with it's size, it will be nice on a longer chain too.
And here's the set:
If you are interested in rose window design.....the geometry of the design of this window at Grace is the same as the rose window in the Gothic cathedral of Chartres, France - but the final design is actually different. Here are the two so that you can compare - and for more geometry, here is a link to a detailed comparison of the two windows.

I'm really enjoying seeing your anodized creations. It's a method that really appeals to me, but not really sure if it fits with my work. I'll live vicariously through you:)
