Poor Man's SGS

[John Carmichael]

Hello All:   I was thinking that somewhere long ago I have seen a fake, but nice stained glass window.   You know the tinted thin plastic (Mylar?) film that people use on their home and car windows to cut down on light transmission?  Well it's the same thing, only it has a pretty stained glass patern in full color printed on it.  You buy a pattern that fits your window and you apply it very easily to the inside of the window using some sort of liquid to make it adhere, then you press the bubbles out, and it will last several years.   I was thinking that if you could get a pattern custom-made on this plastic film, then you could have your own quick and easy poor man's stained glass sundial! Tony's method of using a glass adhesive for the gnomon would be the perfect solution to gnomon attachment because you wouldn't have drill destructive holes the window. If you ever want to get rid of it or change the pattern you just tear it off.   Does anybody know where to begin investigating a supplier of custom printed window film?  I definitely want to try one myself.  And I think I'll use the free download of that wonderful stained glass drawing program to make the drawing, Glass Eye 2000.   Also, it'd  be good practice for those of you who might build or design a real one someday.   This could be a business in itself.  (But the glassers would hang you!)   John         John L.
