Fensterrosetten

Colorful Star and Flower Circles

Window rosettes that shine in their full glory when backlit have fascinated people for many centuries; even today, we stand in awe before the windows of Gothic cathedrals. Frédérique Guéret demonstrates how this colorful, dynamic, light-permeable geometry can also be recreated using translucent paper in a variety of colors and shapes. In addition to instructions for window rosettes from well-known churches (such as the cathedrals of Chartres, Notre-Dame de Paris, Lausanne, Nuremberg, or Assisi), she develops her own unique creations inspired by the leaf and flower diversity of nature (for example, a lime slice, swirling ginkgo leaves, a radiant calendula sun). Those who enjoy playing with colors and shapes, light and geometry, and creating decorative transparencies for living or children's room windows will find a rich selection of motifs here – suitable for all seasons and in various levels of difficulty.
