Here is a stained glass pattern of handsome bodybuilder Stan McQuay.

I suggest that you paint the pupils black. You can also use paint or foil overlays for the nostril openings, the eyebrows, and eyes, rather than cutting small pieces.

Glass suggestions are with the pattern.

The Bodybuilder stained glass pattern is available in a black & white jpg, color jpg, and in the Glass Eye 2000 format.

Here is a stained glass pattern of a beautiful lady soaking up the summer sun.

I used a picture of a woman reclining as the basis for this pattern. The original picture showed her leaning back with her hand on the ground. Her hair was not as long as I made it.

One of the reasons I lengthened her hair, (aside from liking longer hair,) was that I was just not satisfied with the way her hand looked when I made the pattern. I did not want to make too many small pieces in order to make her hand; her hand was not the focus of this pattern, and I thought too much detail there might detract from the design. It would also be more difficult to make. So, I used her hair to cover up her hand.

I like the sense of golden summer sunshine in this piece. I hope you like it, too. If you make this piece, or any of my patterns, please send me a photo, and I will post it here and on my Flickr page.

The Sunbather stained glass pattern is available in a color jpg, a black & white jpg, and the GlassEye 2000 format.

What with the holidays and family obligations, etc. I have not made many posts recently, so I decided to start out the New Year with three free pattern posts today.

Here is the third free stained glass pattern in the Winter Sports category. This pattern shows two happy ice skaters on a frozen pond. The facial features are painted on, as are the fringe detail in the scarf and the skate blades. I hope you enjoy making this pattern.

This pattern contains a few small pieces and some that may require the use of a glass saw. (I recommend theĀ Taurus 3 Diamond Ring Saw.) Pupil and lines on forehead and ear should be painted.
