Hi everyone!It is the third Monday of February � HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!? I feel like I just got through Christmas, much less New Years and Valentine�s Days. Sorry, I digress! So, as I was saying - third Monday of the month�which means it is time for me to share a technique with you.
My technique today is to create a Stained Glass background. It is pretty easy �you just need a pencil, a ruler (or not), a Sharpie, and the color medium of your choice. I looked up stained glass images online (click HERE to see what I found). I used these images as inspiration and just went for it. NOW these are clean and simple (geometric/mosaic) stained glass not images created from stained glass (though if you want to try that, there is a tutorial HERE for you to try.)
The steps are as follows:
Step 1
Choose the appropriate paper for the ink you are going to use.(I decided to create a few examples so wen with Xpress It Blender Paper for Copics, Watercolor for Zig Real Color Brush Markers, and Bristol for Inktense pencils�
With your ruler and pencil, draw the lines of your stained glass design. If you want a more organic look try drawing wavy lines, or whatever pattern pleases you.
Step 2
Color your image - color each block individually and vary the shades.
Don�t think too much about where you place each color. If it is random, it looks more realistic.
Step 3
Go over your lines with a sharpie to give it the finished look.

This technique was actually easy and relaxing- got out my markers to color my random triangular shapes- adding "leading" for my panes with my #2 pencil. Used an orange splattered background behind my stained glass to pump up the color intensity. Dry embossed my glass as it reminded me of a medieval church window. Here's Dreamer

What a great challenge...TY...but hope this ok I could not figure out or decide what to put in front of this as once I started with the rose image, didnt want to cover it, so maybe its ok as is?//here is my Glass Rose
