    I have a Hummingbird pattern that I would like to do. Can someone please tell me where is a good place to purchase material to make a stained glass.

    Thank you

    Batiks work very well.

    I would go with some of the less patterned batiks also as they are varigated in color and real stained glass also has variations in the glass. Don't do what I did and use fusible tape in black .. how to mess up your lovely project in three easy steps! Use a nice black and cut those tiny strips. Worth the extra effort.

    or hand-dyed fabrics work really well too

    I did see where someone on the board used black yarn to do the 'lead lines' of a rose. It gave it a nice 3D effect too.
