St. Patrick’s Day- Two More Patterns

by Gwynne

I have two more [tag]St. Patrick’s Day patterns[/tag] for you. One of them is also a [tag]Celtic knot pattern[/tag].

shamrock.jpgThe first pattern is a very simple shamrock- great for beginners. It’s very easy to cut and put together, and it only requires one color- green. The pattern is designed to avoid the formation of a large blob of solder at the center by offsetting the center joints.

The simple Shamrock pattern is available in black & white jpg and color jpg and Glass Eye 2000 format.
celticshamrock.jpgThe second pattern is the Celtic Shamrock pattern. It combines three Celtic knots within a shamrock.

The ancient Celts used geometric designs for decoration in pre-Christian times.
Celtic knotwork appeared later, about 450 A.D., and variations of these stylized knots were used to decorate Christian manuscripts and artwork, such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels.

The Celtic Shamrock pattern is available in black & white jpg and color jpg and Glass Eye 2000 format.

You may recognize the Celtic knot from the simple Celtic Knot suncatcher pattern.

This is a simple pattern, with clean lines, and looks beautiful in cathedral jewel tones on heavily textured glass.

Change the glass to opalescent for a more muted glow.
