Red Rose Stained Glass Pattern

Jun 092007

O, my love’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June
— Robert Burns, A Red, Red Rose

The rose is a traditional favorite in the garden and has also become a favorite subject for works of art, and stained glass is no exception.

There are 100 to 150 species of rose, with thousands of hybrids and cultivars.

The rose is the national flower of England and the United States. It is the state flower of four US states: Iowa, North Dakota, Georgia, and New York. Portland, Oregon is known as the “City of Roses” and holds an annual Rose Festival. It is also the provincial flower of Yorkshire (white rose) and Lancashire (red rose) in England, and of Alberta in Canada.

In recognition of the favorite flower for the month of June here is a rose stained glass pattern, displayed in shades of red. It is available in black & white jpg, color jpg, and Glass Eye 2000 format. Consider purchasing an oak frame, then size the pattern to fit the frame. This will add a professional and beautifully finished look to your work of art.

Roses are also the basis of design for the Gothic rose window. For a beautiful example of a rose window see the photos accompanying my May 27, 2007 post on the Cathedral of St. John, in Spokane, WA.

Here is a little woodland bunny stained glass pattern to remind you that Spring really is here, though it may still be cold.

This pattern falls into at least two and maybe three of the most popular categories in the pattern poll: plants & flowers, animal kingdom, and, if I stretch it, fantasy & anime. (Just imagine this rabbit can talk or the toadstools are magical. Hmm, I could even call it a landscape . . .)

The Woodland Bunny Stained Glass Pattern is available in a color jpg, a black & white jpg, and in the Glass Eye 2000 format.

I used Spectrum glass primarily for the color jpg display, with a couple each of Armstrong and Bullseye selections. See the pattern link for the exact glass.

Have fun and enjoy this pattern!

What kind of bee is guaranteed not to sting?
A stained glass bee.

For this bee stained glass panel you will paint the eye. The legs and antenna are indicated by dotted lines. Paint the legs and antenna or make them out of wire.

The pattern lists glass color suggestions. Our color version is done entirely in Spectrum glass. Spectrum glass is consistent in texture and color, so it is easy to cut and work with.

Use your imagination to come up with a bright & vivid or muted & soft stained glass flower.

The Bee on Flower stained glass pattern is available in a black & white jpg and in the Glass Eye 2000 format.
