Hi Terry: It's funny you should mention Frank L. Wright because he was an avid designer of stained glass windows. There's a whole book of his patterns that are often copied. He had his own style which is now called southwestern. It looks a lot like a Navajo design with a lot of art deco thrown in. (He uses lots of triangles) His patterns are beautiful. It would be neat to do a sundial design using his pattern style.
