Easter Stained Glass Patterns

News: Stained glass patterns are being created in PDF format.

We are in the process of adding a new format to our stained glass patterns.
PDF stands for "Portable Document Format". In PDF you can now view our patterns and print easily in a web browser. Categorizing and organizing the patterns will be easier too.

Give it a try  :)

During the holiday seasons besides making traditional Christmas related items, there is a trend in the creative stained glass community to make crosses and angels.

This will be an ongoing project where more information will be added as time goes on. If you know of a resource, please let us know in the feedback below.

Peacock in the Rough Stained Glass

Found this photo of a peacock panel I did left in my photo software.
Even looks nice leaning against the workbench on a dirty floor...

Heron Stained Glass Window

This stained glass window was made for a client who lives across from the Intracoastal Waterway in the Sea Gate community, Newport, NorthCarolina.
The homeowner had an eclectic interior style of Victorian to rustic to beach throughout the home using soft umber browns, golds and bold steps of secondary colors. This decorating effort came together beautifully!
It was now my job to compliment all of the design aspects of the decor with a heron and a natural Down East and tropical North Carolina appeal.


I really enjoyed doing this panel...

Celtic Compass Rose

Stumbling around I came across a twist on the traditional compass rose design made using a Celtic knot. This one from Da Vinci's Workshop was made for tile but can easily be adapted to stained glass or mosaics. The design is copyrighted so please ask their permission or use policies if you use it.

Visit Da Vinci's Workshop to see more of their water jet tile work.

Just finished an oval version of my popular Holy Spirit window. Added in this design was two banner areas marking an anniversary. The window size is 18" x 24".
Final destination is a church in the West Indies on the island country of Nevis.
