Circular Rose Window With Radiating Diamond Panes Coloring Page

Eighteen long lozenges spoke out of a bare central disc, ringed by eighteen round beads inside a rim of short rectangular pieces.

Three rings and a hub, and that is the whole design. A large bare disc sits at the middle, circled by eighteen small round bead cells, and from those spring eighteen long lozenges that reach almost to the rim. A band of short rectangular pieces between two drawn circles closes the outside. Most of the glass here is roomy, a typical cell measuring about 8 mm across at its widest, so the sheet moves along. The exceptions are the little wedges where the lozenges meet the bead ring, a few of which come in under 2 mm and will want a pencil point rather than a marker. A child who stalls on the busier windows will finish this one and feel like they have, and an adult can use it as a warm up before taking on the rose window with the petal sections and outer medallions, which is busier on every count. Because everything repeats evenly around the circle, a two color alternation reads cleanly: warm lozenges against a cool rim, or the reverse. The more satisfying option is a single hue stepped outward, palest at the bead ring and deepest at the rectangles, which turns the flat circle into something that appears to glow from the middle. Leave the central disc white whichever route you take. It is the one big area on the page with nothing crossing it, and bare paper there does more work than any color will.
