Glass Etching Style / Stencil Help

sten_gun

Hi,

I am looking for a pattern to etch some opaque glass.

The style I like is at the following link
alidathorpe.com/keyword/door%20knob;wood%20doors;etched%20glass/

This style is unlikely to be Victorian since it is Sigmund Freude's door in Austria!
Don't think it is baroque either.

Trying to find a similar (not identical) stencil but the problem is I don't know what you would call this style, so not finding anything like it.

If anyone knows what you call this style, I would be very grateful if you could let me know what it is as I'm not very arty. If you know of a suitable stencil also that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Have a look here perhaps http://www.leadbitterglass.com/etched_glass_designs/sandblasted_doors_fanlight_patterns_cheltenham.htm

You could probably have a stencil cut with a regular plotter on sign vinyl - I keep meaning to try it but haven't got around to it yet. (Any sign place should be able to do it or if you have any crafty friends with a craft robo).
Beyond baroque and victorian cannot find a more suitable theme for you to search.

You know the way they Brits have edwardian, victorian etc?
Well I feel that the Germans/Austrians must have similar genres that I never heard of.

The roaring 1920s patterns are too plain, the ivctorian/baroque too much, that Austrian pattern is just right. Pity

Art Noveau perhaps?

They are called flourishes or ornaments. You can get books that have commonly used ones in them: http://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Stencil-Designs-Pictorial-Archive/dp/0486268454/ref=pd_sim_b_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BDCFCFZXJG6FTTP36KZ

People usually mix and match a few different flourishes together that fit with whatever they are designing. Most people use different books like these for reference.
