Lumbele, what dimensions are you looking for, as in how many stitches wide and tall? I have my folders out now.

Sia, not higher or wider than 20 counts if possible. More would probably set things off balance. Thanks for trying, but please don't loose any sleep over this.

Lots of people Curious! I just do the pics in scrapbooks with small notations, but they're are quite a few who are more into it than me. We had a thread for it...let me see if I can find it.

Lumbele, I've had no luck getting my scanner to work. I did find a pattern on the web, though, that may suit the purpose:

Sia, thank you very much, I'll have to google a bit, too, I think.

Will this help, Lumbele, or are they too simple--or too ugly? The piece you select to finish your work needs to harmonize with the figures you've already completed. I found lots of larger patterns, but the small border-type patterns are what you need to fit that small space.

Sia, I'll have to fiddle around a little to decide which patterns would fit best. The 2 major figures are about 56 count high from toe to top of hat and about 30+ wide. Thanks again for your efforts.k51

These were cute, I thought, but maybe too tall for your space:

These don't fit your theme, but I love hummingbirds:

Hi Folks,

Any Tole or Decorative painters in the house? I've been painting for 3 years and I find it the most relaxing pasttime. I would love to turn it into a career, but I don't know where to start. Anyways, I'm always looking for new ideas for projects and sometimes find free patterns on the internet. Does anyone know of any good free pattern sites?

Here are some photos of my recent projects

Thanks

I do Gallery glass, and I take pics, trace them on blanks, paint them then peel and stick. Then you finish with the stuff that makes it look like stained glass ... if that helps

Thanks for responding Ladytex. That isn't what I had in mind, but it sounds like a fun craft!
I actually do the real stained glass where you start with sheets of colored glass and cut out pieces and solder them together to get the finished product. I need to start with a "cartoon" pattern which is like a drawing on cardstock and then cut each piece apart to cut out of the glass.
I am hoping to make a panel with my best friend's husbands fav sports teams for their recroom.
If anyone else has any suggestions on where I could find patterns for these, I would appreciate it. (I know they are copywrited, so there are only certain sources I can use)
Thanks,
Stacey

Can you get a picture off of the teams website, print it out on cardstock and go from there?

Have you talked to the local craft stores? Sometimes they can get patterns or books of patterns for just about anything. My mom has done stained glass, so I'll ask her about the patterns...she used to get them from one of the stores here in town, and I know they were able to help her, but it was awhile back.

Hmmm, I thought I would resurect this thread, and share a couple things with you all. A lot of you know I paint on rocks. This past spring, I did a rock for Lancecrossfire, and I also finished a rock for my dad that was an on again off again project that spanned about 5 years. So here are the pictures of them that I finally got developed.
