Pattern Execution

After drawing and sizing up or down my patterns I will label each area of the pattern to keep continuity of color and flow to each Stained Glass art piece. In this image of a large knotted art you can see I have given each line it's own letter so when cutting the pattern I do not accidentally put the wrong glass in the wrong spot hence changing the image or pattern while creating. I suggest while cutting a pattern one should have all the glass intended for the piece be ready, cut one pattern at a time and adhere to the glass as soon as it is cut. Starting and stopping patterns causes loss of small pattern parts and color mistakes. There is nothing worse than making a block M that ends up looking like a block B, that becomes scrap and frustration and having to start over.  In this knotted piece I will be making the lines multiple colors but each strip having it's own solid strong color glass with clear iridescent glass in between the brilliantly colored strips. I will be following up the blog with a cutting blog later!
