Stained Glass Patterns
Stained Glass Patterns Can Be Simple or Complex
Basically the beauty of a stained glass pattern is often its simplicity. When
too complicated, the lead lines take away from the color. A butterfly pattern
is a popular one for stained glass. Florals and lifelike intricate details are
popular traditionally.
You Can Design Your Own Stained Glass Pattern Using Coloring
Books.
When designing your own stained glass pattern, be sure to make extra lines.
To do this simply imagine what it would be like to have a large piece of glass
in the design. Remember, to cut stained glass is tedious enough without too
many round edges. Add extra lines to compensate for this obstacle.
Geometric Stained Glass Patterns
As time has marched on we have shifted from the more literal stained glass
patterns to adding geometric patterns. Geometric patterns are beautiful on foyer
palladium windows as well as on bathroom windows over tubs. They compliment
the modern decor styles often with the symmetrical beauty of the traditional
styles.
Abstract Patterns
Abstract stained glass patterns can be very grand indeed. They tend to flow
with great energy and connection in spite of being seeming disconnected minus
the symmetry. This is for the modern day style home decor. It can be very regal
as well as the other types of styles and designs.
Finding a Stained Glass Pattern that is a Perfect Fit
Finding a stained glass pattern for an odd sized or shaped window can be a
challenge. In this case, simply take a part of the design instead of using the
entire pattern. Then you will have an original design you can be proud of.
No matter what the project, stained glass windows are a sight to see. One can
hardly take their eyes off stained glass when looking through a stained glass
window into daylight.
