Painted Glass Suncatchers

Scroll down this page of painted glass suncatchers to find a new series of cartoon animals with a modern graphic touch. These patterns require fired paints. Consider the patterns suggestions, and use grisailles, matte, enamels and silver stain to your heart's content.

If you use Art Of Stained Glass's Online Pattern Resizer and Printer, the circles in the patterns should print in a consistent size from one pattern to the next. ART OF STAINED GLASS provides glass painting instructions.

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.

Sadly, I smashed this piece on the floor hours after I finished it. I took pictures of the broken project and fixed them with PhotoShop...

Aw well, lesson learned!
