Gadroon molding

[ALAN VAIL]

Would anyone have a pattern for gadroon molding ?

I make all my own patterns from Egg & Dart to Leaf on Leaf etc. They aren't particularly hard to make. At one time I used very thin aluminum which after the pattern is made lends itself nicely to forming to a profile such as would be used for E&D or a Gadroon type mld. I also have been using "For Rent" signs,, the thin plastic ones as it's very easy to cut out the patterns from it where I have to make repeated patterns. The trick really to a pattern such as this is to have a given pattern repeat so you can adjust the design slightly over its course to have all the designs end on a run in a particular way as to lend themselves to turning a corner without say, half a pattern fall on the corner.

Thanks for the reply i use transparincey sheets sometimes that i can print on then if i find a pattern i can copy it on the sheet and cut it out the sheets or pretty thick you can trace around them pretty easy and you can see through them also thanks again old hippy
