I have done a couple of stained class projects.
I was wondering if anyone has converted your own picture into a stained glass pattern.
Or if there is information available how to do this ?
Thank you for your help in advance

from my college classes (bear with me, its been years)...
Take the picture, and stand back away from it. Fuzz your eyes a bit until you don't see the fine detail anymore, just shapes and shadows and light. Maybe that will help a little to decide if its convert-able?
If so, take tracing paper to lay over a print. Fuzz your eyes again, and you'll see the dark/light separations; lightly sketch those lines in. Then you can refine (add / drop lines) to your taste.
We used this theory with some 5th graders, broke down further into squares and gave them each a square to paint, and the 10-year olds were able to paint a large mural on their school wall when they had no talent, let alone any idea on "what" they were painting :)
