Dream of the Rood - update
Slow progress made even slower. My wife took ill at the end of August. Consequently I can't get to my studio as often as I'd have liked.
Here's the work so far. All three windows (or lights as they are called in the stained glass world) now have the images in place and it only remains to put in some fine line detail. That could take up just as much time as the work so far.

The work is on a sheet of 300 grammes per square metre smooth drawing paper.
In the meantime I have taken this opportunity to work at home editing the many sketchbooks I've accumulated over the years and intend to show some pages from the past here.

The Dream of the Rood (2). A page from the current sketchbook where I've developed the initial idea posted earlier.Here I'm looking at how it might work as a stained glass piece set in three lancet windows in a church.
No particular place in mind except that this would be an ideal setting.
Tom Denny's stained glass work is the obvious influence.
