£2.63

Simplistic, suggested for amateurs - Very simplistic designs. If you are looking for a challenging design, look somewhere else.The book is in black and white, and therefore lacks colour suggestions. Which also hints that most of these designs were never implemented on glass - they re just designsHowever, if your collection lacks traditional designs, this is the one for you.

A wonderful collection of stained glass designs - This book is a must to all proffesional or amateur glass makers, many of the designs included are workable, most produce beautiful pieces. Both stylish and practical.

A wide range of authentic traditional designs - As a stained glass enthusiast and renovator of historic homes, I m putting this book at the top of my favorites list.Unlike so many stained glass pattern books that modernize patterns, the beautiful and varied patterns in this book are rendered directly from historic homes. The patterns are organized into five sections: Art Nouveau, Victorian Geometric, Victorian Floral, Edwardian and The Twenties.All patterns were gleaned from homes in a fairly localized area of England, and they are slightly limited in their regionalism -- the Victorian patterns, in particular, are definitely English Victorian, which sometimes varies widely from what I m used to here in the U.S. Nonetheless, there are patterns for all tastes and all skill levels, most of which lend themselves more properly to lead came than copper foil.All patterns are for windows, doors, sidelights and the like. There are no craft, lamp or jewelry projects included in the book.

It s made, installed amd looks dam good. - My girfriend s just started stain glass making and has produced her first window from one of the designs in this book. She had no problems producing it - apart from cutting her fingures to sheds on the lead (not the books fault). It s now installed over our front door and it looks wonderful. Well done Susan!

Solid, accurate pattens spanning many eras, great base book. - This book is a great one for learners and pros alike. The patterns span many design eras and it is a good tool for demonstrating to clients and friends what is possible, pattern-wise, for a project.
