Custom Glass Patterns and
Design Service |
We
do custom designing and printing of patterns. The following
shows you in simple steps what we do and how we do it. We
can do it for you as well. Email us for a quote for a custom
project you've wanted to do, but haven't been able to because
you couldn't get the help you needed.
Our fee is $45.00/hour plus the actual cost of printing out
the final full sized copy if requested, or we can send you
the finished pattern on a floppy disk and you can have it
printed out at a local graphics store. We will provide you
with a total cost estimate before we begin any work. There
are no hidden charges. |

This
is a copy of a 17th century Japanese woodblock print we
wanted to render in glass. |
|
First
we scan the picture, sketch, or outline into the computer
and refine the portion you want to become the working pattern.
We can add, modify and make any changes you want to include. |
|
We
then remove the picture proper from the screen and have
the basic pattern. |
|
We
then prepare the pattern for work and number each piece
|
|
The
basic color scheme you give us is applied and if you like
it, we then move on to the next step which is the fun part.
|
|
Next
the actual glass colors from the manufacturers are applied.
At present we have the almost complete glass files for Spectrum,
Kokomo, Uroboros and Youghiogheny. When we did the lady,
we used Spectrum with the exception of a small piece of
Uroboros for the hair piece on top of the lady's head and
the scoop of the ladle which was scrap from somewhere and
we wish we could find more. |

Compare it to the above picture. You can have the same accuracy
in every project you do. |
