Tasymo made some coneflowers and so did Wench....

How nice - see how we inspire each other. I got the idea from TASY's wonderful chair w/the coneflowers, and free handed mine.

Mine were free-handed too, inspired by someones glass on glass windows... Mosaicwench's maybe???

hey cacberry, do a google search for pics of coneflowers - print them in black and white then just outline the ones you like in marker WA LAA! insto pattern!

I love it. Everyone is inspired by someone else here.

Thanks for the tip Nicethyme!

Yes, I agree with Nice's suggestion. That is what I did when I needed a pattern for hibiscus. I searched linens and cloths online until I found something simple for me to copy and use. I then have used the same pattern and reduced or enlarged it as I needed.

Yes, what they said! I JUST did this a few days ago, found loads of pics of coneflowers (I googled "echinacea" first, came up with more using "coneflower").

Debbi, I'm laughing sitting here looking at my collection of hibiscus pictures. I found the best ones were on Hawaiian clothing!

Not sure if you found this pattern, but here is a stained glass site I often use. The patterns are free, and easily used in mosaics.

Here is a link that might be useful: Glass Patterns

Thanks for the links. It even has a tutorial of making a pattern from a pic.

You might check out this link for the coneflower:

Thanks a bunch!
