Will your stained glass sundial design require a polar axis style (a
triangular sheet or angled rod) or a point-in-space style (also called a
nodus)?

 

What can't you attach the style to the window glass?  There are several ways
to do this.

 

Here are two webpages that may help you:

Ok, so I have the insulated windows but I want a stained glass sundial. So,
I plan to paint a sundial on the window frame using glass paint.  The only
problem is, I cannot actually mount the style to the window.

 

So, I want to back check with you guys. what I am thinking about doing is,
paint the dial as planned. Then, I'll make a paper style and use that to
check my distance. I can mount two bars across the window 2-3 inches away
from the window. I can attach the actual style to the bars. So, I can use
the paper style to adjust the amount of material I need to leave off the
bottom of the style to have the correct shadow.

 

In effect, I am creating a floating style. What do you guys think. I wanted
to check with folks who have done real stained glass and see if you think
the floating style will work.
