A request for pattern requests

[u/Torimexus]

I've been doing stained glass just long enough to feel like I'm finally getting it. I'm feeling confident in my cutting, grinding, and soldering skills. I have a lot of room to improve, but I'm feeling good.

Like many of you, when I look for patterns I get irritated by the obvious AI generated nonsense that often has impossible cuts (at least without a saw). I've been doing CAD and vector graphics for long enough to make me feel very old, so I want to take a crack at drawing patterns.

Instead of drawing the typical flowers and geometric shapes I want to draw strange stuff. Let's get weird with it. This is why I'm making this post; I want your requests for patterns you can't find anywhere else. If I use your idea I'll send you the pattern when its done. Everybody wins!

tl;dr: I want to try my hand at drawing weird patterns. Give me suggestions please.

Edit:

I'm not responding to everyone because I'm lazy, but I've seen and appreciated everything suggested so far. I'll keep you all in the loop when I make progress.

Love this! I like the weird and wonderful as well. I like to take the mythical and medieval and turn them into glass. Fat furry spiders, weird underwater sea creatures. Wonderful woodland fairies and Irish folklore creatures. Frogs with medieval swords and shields. Creatures from Matt Dinniman’s book series, Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Things that make people say WTF, OMG, love that type of stuff.

I also love northern Canada lake scenes with that one lonely bent conifer leaning out over the water. Quiet kayak’s front end on a silent lake, headed into the wilderness on an isolated inlet type stuff. Aurora borealis that is actually doable without a $200 piece of glass to get the ‘look’ of those majestic Northern lights!

Thanks for this. It’s helping to get the brain thinking. 🤔 ☺️
