Oh, and the ring is quite near the top. I figured a sleeve midway would leave too much weight at the top to "flop over".

I must admit I love round wallhangings, but how they would be hung has put me off...so now I might add one to my list :D

I don't know if there is a rule on how they should be hung... we tossed around so many ideas and some were getting rather complicated.

My partner thought it was hilarious, some of the contraptions friends were coming up with. His idea was "keep it simple, stupid". And I hate to say it, but he was right! LOL

I think if it was a lot bigger it would need extra support.

Men!!...It's annoying when they get it right isn't it lol!!

I was thinking you would have to use some sort of wire to retain it which could be threaded throught some loops stitched in while you were binding it, thats why I asked :D :D

What's worse is he KNOWS he's right! LOL

We did think about a wire circle in the binding, which would have been light and easy to insert, but it would be difficult to make a perfect circle out of the wire.

So am I dude, so am I! LOL

A simple cross attached to the back would work too, to hold the sides out. The bigger the circle the more support required.

LOL

I am really pleased with how this came out, and so glad I didn't think before hand about how difficult it would be. This is my first ever stained glass, and it's not from a pattern, I made it up myself.
