Hi,

Anyone know any web sites where one can down load stained glass windows?

I understand you can print the design onto transperancy sheets.

Kind regards

Digger... go to your nearby library or to a large bookstore... I found several "coffee table" books on the great catherdrals of the world. You can also go do a search on "google.com". and search for "Stained Glass" + "Churches" - then click on the IMAGES tab, and you will see quite a few!

On some viewing programmes, if you check under the image column and the effect section some have the "stained glass" effect. Which means you can make a stained glass effect out of any photo. My computer has this at home but not here at work, so it must depend on the viewer programme used.
If you wanted a certain style or design it might be possible to make one with a paint programme. Draw in all the black lines in appropriate places and then colour in these areas. Then print onto the display film as normal. I have never tried either of these for a diorama, but I have played with photographs and used the stained glass effect and it does work. This would give you loads of options!
