I know this pattern exists in a book somewhere but I have no clue how to begin looking for it...
It is a man golfing, it is round, and there is a tree in it off to the left...
A lady in my glass 3 yrs ago did it but I have no clue her name to contact her...
I want to do this as an auction donation for a non-profit adoption agency here in Nashville that has an annual golf tournament fundraiser in the fall
any help would be greatly appreciated

LouAnn, I don't know the pattern you're talking about but I did make a golfer some years ago and I'm attaching a picture of the finished piece. If you can't find the pattern you want and want this one I have all the pieces on heavy paper and I can scan and send them to you if you like. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the large copy of the pattern itself. It measures 12 x 8 1/4.

LouAnn, I also do not know the pattern you're talking about, but if you go to my pattern site http://darrylsstainedglasspatterns.com/ and click on the links to the sport patterns links there are a number of golfing patterns there you are welcome to use. |

Thanks Anne...
Thanks Darryl -- yours was one of the first sites I checked to see if that is where she got the pattern.

Lou Ann, I'm pretty sure I've seen a golfer pattern on one of the free pattern sites. I'll have a look around and see if I can find it.

Thanks Tre -- I think I'll leave this as a last resort but at least if I buy the CD, there are a lot of them on there that interest me...
Thanks Linde, I was pretty sure it was from a free site too -- I was on a bunch last night and didn't find anything so I'll be back out there again tonight -- good thing is I don't need it right now!!!

I've been looking, Lou Ann, but I can't seem to find it. I know it is out there somewhere.

Thanks Linde,
I may end up having to design my own because I'm just not finding what I want... I've also thought of switching to a stepping stone because I have a great pattern for that -- not sure it would work as a panel because of hinges.
thanks for taking the time to look for me.

No, the golfer was from the back instead of the front... I want to be able to give the illusion of it being either a man or woman...
thanks for looking though

Don't discard a design because of potential hinges. Correct the hinges by shifting some lines, adding some lines or re-inforcing to eliminate the problem. If the scene you want is there - making it into a stronger isn't rocket science.

This is the stepping stone pattern I mentioned possibly having hinges -- I'm not worried about the heart of the lines being too thick for a panel because I can adjust them with glass eye; however, I didn't know if the way the lines are in there now would create any hinges as a 14" round panel...

You could easily adjust the very top and bottom piece to eliminate the hinge.

1) don't worry about the thickness of the lines. Your pattern shears will cut the width they are, no matter what the piece of paper says. Or, if you're Glass-eyeing it, make you adjustment there.
2) there are only two lines that are even close to being hinges (see red below). Neither of these is very serious, both having some considerable curve in them.If you want to beef them up a bit, you could by extending hands, feet and head slightly further across these lines, they will be strengthened. Probably easier to move the upper line down a bit and the lower line up, than fiddling with the golfer's parts. But I'm not sure I'd bother.

I'm not worried about them at all because like you said, I can adjust -- just brought it up because I didn't want anyone else to tell me they were thicker for a stone than a panel 2) there are only two lines that are even close to being hinges (see red below).

those were the 2 lines I was worried about; especially the top one -- if I were to add a border all the way around it, that would solve the problem as long as I don't break the border at the same places as the potential hinge, right? thanks for the help Graham Lou Ann |

A border or hard metal frame would help somewhat, but I don't really think you need worry about it a lot.

LouAnn, why not just make it square, as though you have matted the round panel. You could do the round border in one color and the square section in another color, much like a photo is done |
