cut glass pattern elements
« on: June 21, 2013, 09:02:04 PM »
Being new to cut glass I'm finding it's got its own language but I'm not finding any online pictorial dictionary.
I've found a short glossary at <http://www.hobstar.org/#anchor_135>.
Through reading for hours on the web I've figured out what a hobstar, Brunswick star, vesica and a few other elements look like.
I've seen enough different things called hobnails to be thoroughly confused.
Can anyone point me to a site or two that expand on what the glossary at hobstar started to fill in the blanks?

Thanks,
Mike
