mickey28 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Anybody ever tried putting stained glass windows in their house? I saw a book that had miniature patterns and wondered how they would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I have one in the bathroom of my farmhouse but the window was already made. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Stained glass windows have been discussed several times. If you will scroll to the bottom of the page, you can check out some of the older pages. Pages 15 and 18 might have something you can use. Everyone is so helpful and they may have the answers you're looking for. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokelly Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The Lafayette I just gave my neice has all stained glass windows. My old windows were kind of sorry looking so I had to put new windows in it. I made mine by printing pictures of stained glass windows on transparencies with a little help from Word and Paint. They turned out really nice. When I get pictures taken I'll try to post them. But I did notice if you decide do this method, you need to pick a really vibrant window or the colors don't show up as nice when transfered to a transparency.

KathieB Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 If you do a search for stained glass, you'll find a number of posts that cover various aspects of reproducing a stained glass effect in scale windows. Look here There are several methods and a mixture of media, and most of them make lovely windows. I'm sure you'll find a method comfortable for you. Please share pictures of what you do. We're always learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I made stained glass windows for my Beacon Hill using Gallery Glass from Plaid. It's a liquid that you spread on the window and when it dries it gives the stained glass effect. I also made a real stained glass panel for my Beacon Hill. You can view that process in my blog here http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/b...woman/index.php? and scroll down to 'Stained Glass Sky Light'. Good luck with your windows!

havanaholly Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Since there were no window inserts with my WO I'm planning to do "stained glass" windows for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Bonnie, I'm a very proud owner of one of (MiniMadWoman) Teresa's Stained Glass SkyLights and she did a fabulous job on it. It's truly gorgeous!! Make sure you take a look at her gallery where she used stained glass windows in her Beacon Hill as well. Just beautiful!!

ilovecats Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Charlotte, your Cambridge colors are beautiful! Do you have more pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi, Charlotte! I'm glad to see you made it over here. Your Cambridge picture loaded just fine, it seems. Peggi also has a Cambridge, I think hers came prebuilt & she's planning to rehab it. Please introduce yourself in the "new members" section, not everyone reads every post.

Kratz7 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi everyone, My name is Charlotte, I live in Pennsylvania and I have been working on the Cambridge dollhouse for years. Actually my hubby and I built it together after I got overwelmed with all the pieces. Even though I thought I had them all marked aI was still overwelmed. So dear hubby jumped in to help. He also did the electrical work. I will try posting a few pics and hopefully they will come through.....I now enjoy the decorating part of life....lol I have collected all the furniture and accessories over the years also, as I would have never found all the cool things all at once I love playing in the dollhouse and decorating it for holidays..... Here's a photo for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
