What was your inspiration?

My mother loves green, and I needed a gift for her for Christmas

What are you most proud of?

That she loves it and shows it off to anyone and everyone who will look!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you know glass, go for it; if you don't know it yet, take a class! Check out what's available in your area; and if you don't want to go that far, convert it to crochet or fabric!

it is absolutely gorgeous! Would you send me the pattern so I could make it with my own colors? Your Mom must be proud.

working on a better copy of the pattern. The original copy used is not fit for use at this point.

Try a inexpensive protractor to make the original design. Won't be the same but close. Once you have something pleasing to you. Color it with colored pencils and number it. Take your design to kinko's or any copy shop that can do enlarging. Like I said it won't be the same but it will be your original work.

Beautiful. I love stained glass. My friend made me a portrait of my horse that hangs in my window. It is one of my most cherished possessions

the pattern is a mess - I had to piece multiple pages of enlarged copy together to get the finished pattern. It's a wonder it turned out as square as it did! lol So, in answer to your question, no, there are no pattern pieces, but it would not be terribly difficult to do.

In the interim, before any classes, I have found it fun to reverse p[aint on old windows. Completed birds on branches in leading style & colored all to represent the outdoors. Now I use it as my backsplash in the kitchen. This piece was chosen to be shown at Delhi Craft show & Schagticoke Fair herein upstate NY.
