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 :)

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.

Holy Spirit Round
Recently finished cropped version of the Holy Spirit stained glass design I make.
The frame size needed to be 38". I also modified the inner border for an overlapping effect and brought out the size of the dove into the background to compensate for the smaller panel size. The doves are the same exact size in all windows.
