This page shows all the standard design sketches and photographs for my stained glass window hangings on a single page.
The standard stained glass window hangings sections below are:
On the left is shown a "Circle-In-Square Design by George" ™ for the upper half of a double hung kitchen window. The dimensions are 15" high and 31" long.
On the right is shown a small hanging layout. The dimensions are 15.5" high and 9" wide.
This custom stained glass design offers an easily scaled basic pattern. Each Circle-In-Square is 6" by 6" and is composed of five pieces of glass. With different colored glasses and the 6" by 6" unit dimension many sizes and color arrangements can be accommodated. With a border trim added, as shown here, almost any size can be accommodated.
This custom stained glass design can be used for a window hanging or a full window insert.
The basic building block, a 6" by 6" square with a 4" diameter circle at the center, is made from 5 pieces of glass. Standard pieces would be made from: 1, 2 by 2, 2 by 3, 3 by 3, and 3 by 4 of these 6" by 6" units. The range of colors and glass textures is unlimited. I usually recommend three to four colors and two surface textures. A template is supplied to help you select the color placements to match your decoration needs.
When needed to fill a specific size area, a border can be added around the Circle-In-Square units.

I have made a number of Star of David layouts. Below are shown different layouts.
The first image shows an hexagonal window hanging sitting against an interior window in our home. Adjacent sides are 9" apart. The central region contains 12 diamond shaped bevels. Six form a Star of David pattern and the other six complete the hexagonal shape. This inner hexagon is then surrounded with a 1.5" border of Spectrum Medium Blue WaterGlass ®. Within the Spectrum art glass available colors this shade is the closest to the blue usually used for Megan David items.
The outer perimeter of the panel is zinc came, for strength. Hanging hooks are attached to the zinc so it all ready to be placed in your window.

This size panel can also be shipped internationally using the First-Class Package International Service of the USPS. Send me an email if you have an international request as the shipping cost varies by country.
The next image shows a 12" square window hanging. The Star of David is made from 6 diamond shaped bevel pieces. The arranged bevels are surrounded by
frosted glass and then a 1.5" border of Spectrum WaterGlass ®. This panel uses a Medium Amber Spectrum WaterGlass ®,
color number 110.8W. The border can be made in many colors.
The third image is a square layout at 8.5". The six star pieces are constructed from Spectrum Medium Blue WaterGlass® color number 134W.
The glass from the border to the perimeter is standard Glue Chip glass.
I also make Star of David patterns in fused glass layouts. Use your browser back arrow to return to this page. To View a fused glass Star of David layout.
As religious art this design could be seen as a Star of David or a Christmas Star design.
This bevel cluster is of my own design. The hexagonal layout is 9.5" across. The layout could be used without
a border for a large suncatcher window hanging.
My original intent is to surround this central cluster with a hexagonal border in the 1.5" to 2.0" width range. This would yield a hanging in the 13" to 15" range, measured across opposite sides. The color of the border is decided by the client's taste.
The cluster is constructed from 27 stock diamond bevels, each 1.75" by 3.0". Three of the bevels are cut in half for the small triangular pieces at the center of each side. Thus the hexagonal pattern contains 30 bevel segments. To me it has the feel of some old-time quilt pattern or a Pennsylvania Dutch Hex sign. The large amount of bevel surface yields a very striking visual image in a small surface space.
Photograph text - Bevel arrangement, 9" wide and 13" long, using 1.5" wide rectangular bevels of various lengths with a narrow colored glass border. No cement used. The colored border uses Light Purple (Mauve) glass, Spectrum Waterglass ® color number 142W.
The border is usually one of the 6 colors listed in the Spectrum Waterglass ® Colors table which is just below the Designs table. Other colors, such as this Light Purple, are available for an additional small charge. See the Spectrum Art Glass section for all Waterglass colors available.
This design uses multiple bevels in each vertical column, usually 3 to 5 bevels per column. The length of each bevel may vary but the sum of the lengths in each column is the same. Usually there is a pattern to the columns. The photograph shows a design with two bevels per column except in the central column that has 3 bevels. Columns 1 & 2 and columns 4 & 5 are similar but have the bevels inverted vertically.
