Grandfather Philip's Stained Glass

Anatomy III

Since we have decided on the design and colors, it is time to draw the pattern (or cartoon). The design is drawn to the actual dimensions of the finished project. There needs to be an exact duplicate. One is used for cutting the glass and the other is used to fit the project together. If translucent glass is used, you can place the glass over the pattern and trace the outline onto the glass. If the glass is opaque, you must cut the paper shape out and trace the outline onto the glass. once that is done you can actually cut the glass! There seems to be more drawing and tracing than glass cutting! The picture is one of the patterns for palms(the perspective is off.).
