April Fool....

This year I produced 21 versions of a pattern for a circle! There was a pattern for the moon, an orange, a wet telescope lens, a golf ball, an amber bead, a hockey puck an aluminium pie plate a ball of yarn and even a lime Jell-O mound... all just circles. I hope everyone realized it was April Fool...

Below is a screen shot of the prank.

Poppy Seed Heads - Victorian Style

Here is a simple glass painting pattern in a formal Victorian style, yet inspired by nature. The poppy seed heads are an unusual subject with understated grace.

Maybe The Last of Jane Burden Morris?

This COULD be the last. I don't know. I don't know if I can stop myself if I come across another photograph. I confess to be in the process of making a 3D clay figure of her. The clay is drying right now, it should be ready in a few weeks. I will post pictures when she's done.

Visit the SPECIAL PROJECT PAGE on chantal-stainedglasspatterns.com for an assortment of exotic cacti and succulents to place in a clay pot and feature on the windowsill.

Victorian Stained Glass Patterns

Click here for the pattern page for Victorian Botanical Stained Glass Patterns

I just finished a series of stained glass patterns inspired by Victorian aesthetics, featuring some of the botanicals that were popular in illustration and graphic arts at later periods (arts & craft movement and art nouveau), such as waterlilies, cyclamens, arrowhead, snowdrops, climbing gourds and nasturtium. I blended the styles and eras a little, I hope the results are pleasing.

LINK: Glass Painting Patterns of Jane Burden Morris

Here are several glass painting patterns that a great for practicing line tracing, inspired by nineteenth century photographs of Jane Burden Morris. I like those photographs because it's nice to see what was considered a great beauty in the days before heavy makeup and plastic surgery *wink*.

I just need to add the lead lines in Illustrator, and it will be ready to post!

Fashionable Suncatchers

Best way to find stained glass patterns on the internet!

FIND-stained glass patterns now has a new look. In the next few months, I will be adding thumbnails of my patterns next to the links in each separate topical category.



This will result in a more efficient user experience.

A few years ago, I toiled for weeks to create this listing of individual pattern links in topical categories. I was the first to do this - because it was a monumental amount of work. Now, many webmasters have taken this work and re-copied the code in their own websites. There is still one thing that cannot be stolen; that is, for me to add thumbnails of my own patterns, which only I can do, being the copyright owner. Furthermore, as I create a disproportionate amount of free stained glass patterns on the web, the majority of the links do feature thumbnails.

I am committed that FIND-stained glass patterns remain the best and most up-to-date individual pattern listing on the internet. As an online pattern publisher, FIND-stained glass patterns is always the first to be updated, as I am the first to know what pattern I just published.

Enjoy!
