Hey guys,
Everyone seemed to have so much fun creating different versions of the star, I thought I'd design something for you that has countless variations possible in coloring, and by removing whatever lines you desire to change the look of it.
The colors I chose were for the purpose of display, but you can see by altering the colors you can get a very different look from the same pattern.
Currently this pattern is sized with a 16" diameter, but can be sized to whatever you desire. I included the GlassEye file as well for those of you that like using that format, and also in pdf format for multipage printing. Just click on the eye or pdf file to download it.
If you desire a different size, pm me with your email addy and I'll resize it and email it to you.
Once I get my fusing projects finished (only a few more to do), I'll be doing this in lead.
Enjoy,
Kev

 ...do I have scrap! A good reason to go rummaging through them and actually put some of it to use. It'll be nice to break out the lead again. |

I think as it is pictured it's 95 pieces, but you can remove lines to change it and reduce the number of pieces. You can vary it quite a bit by doing that and by altering the color combinations.

My eyes have not fully recovered from me doing two of the optical illusion pieces and then you come up with this, this must be an evil plot between you and my ophthalmologist. I've got a bunch of scrap too, but nowhere enough of one color to this....  ....maybe SWMBO will let me get some more glass  after all Christmas is coming.....  BTW - GE says there are 97 pieces

By removing some of the lines I bet you could get it to 50 -60 pieces.
I'll be able to use scrap for some of it, but the larger pieces I will use my stock of glass.

Oh, do you mean that pile of jewels and bits of Baroque under a sheet of Baroque on the bench downstairs in the basement?

Thank you for sharing this pattern.
I plan on making one this winter, though after Christmas when life is less hectic.

That is a cool pattern. I may try it after the holidays, depending on what I have sitting on the bench at that point.
