These window displays have some cool, transparent patterns. We used die cut vinyl on the windows and colored banners behind the windows.

Suffer little children to come unto me - stained glass window - Church of St Mary, Newton Solney Derbyshire
St. Rumbold's Cathedral (Dutch: Sint-Romboutskathedraal) is the Belgian metropolitan archiepiscopal cathedral in Mechelen, dedicated to Saint Rumbold, Christian missionary and martyr who had founded an abbey nearby.
His remains are rumoured to be buried inside the cathedral. State-of-the-art examination of the relics honoured as Saint Rumbold's and kept in a shrine in the retro-choir, showed a life span of about 40 years and a death date between 580 and 655, while tradition had claimed 775 AD.
Construction of the church itself started shortly after 1200, and it was consecrated in 1312, when part had become usable. From 1324 onwards the flying buttresses and revised choir structure acquired characteristics that would distinguish Brabantine Gothic from French Gothic.
After the city fire of 1342, the Master Mason Jean d'Oisy managed repairs and continued this second phase, which by the time of his death in 1375 formed the prototype for that High Gothic style. His successors finished the vaults of the nave by 1437, and those of the choir by 1451.
During the final phase of 1452-1520, the tower was erected, financed by pilgrims and later by its proprietor, the City. Designed to reach 600 Mechlinian feet or about 167 metres, higher than any church tower would ever attain (Ulm Minster has measured 161 metres since the 19th century).
The very heavy St. Rumbold's tower was built on what had once been wetlands, though with foundations only three metres deep its site appears to have been well-chosen. After a few years, in 1454, its chief architect Andries I Keldermans constructed the Saint Livinus' Monster Tower (or St.-Lievensmonstertoren as it is called in Dutch) in Zierikzee (in the present-day Netherlands), where leaning or sagging of the tower (now 62 metres but designed for ca. 130) could wreck the church.
This concern led to fully separate edifices, a solution also applied in Mechelen. At both places, in the early 16th century the upper part of the tower was abandoned, not for technical but for financial reasons.
St Rumbold's should have been topped by a 77-metre spire but only seven metres of this were built, hence the unusual shape. A deliberately weak connection closed the gap between tower and church upon finishing the construction.
The church has functioned as a cathedral since 1559. In the 18th century, each capitals' surrounding ornament of sculpted cabbage leaves that had been an inspiration for numerous Brabantine Gothic churches, was replaced with a double ring of crops.

St Peter's at Binton is another church entirely rebuilt in the Victorian period, by Frederick Preedy in 1875-6. The building is entirely of this date, leaving no trace of the medieval structure, although there are reminders of it still in the fittings, with three medieval carved cross slabs (that at the west end being particularly fine) , along with a simple late medieval font. The early Georgian Royal Arms survives too.
The church is most famous for it's Kempe glass, which is found in three windows, although it is the west window people come to see. This commemorates Scott of the Antarctic (who was married to the rector's daughter and visited Binton regularly) and portrays four scenes from his last expedition, surreally shown within Kempe's trademark Gothic canopies.

Looking in through the window I could see some old furniture. No one lives here any more, the house has been abandoned for many years. From Gamla Nynäsvägen between Stav and Berga in Haninge.
Exercise in window light portraiture. Taken yesterday, very spur of the moment when the low sun just managed to shine for about 15 min. It was still very soft.
