The third in a series of three pattern books for making stunning three-sided stained glass table lanterns. We don't want to imply that the good and talented people at Aanraku are running out of ideas for their three-sided lanterns, but... among the beautiful -- nay, breathtaking -- designs, we see a group of four of platypuses. Multiply that by three sides and you get 12 of the little fellows, which would be fine for the platypus aficionado, except platypuses are solitary creatures and do not congregate. In fact, there is no collective noun for platypuses for this very reason, just as there is no collective noun for hermits. Nor for dictators. If you can suggest a collective noun for any of the above, please drop us a line.
But we digress.
Just as with Books I and II, this stained glass lantern design book has something for everybody -- sailboats, sun and moon, a chameleon, a fairy, a lighthouse, angel fish, some landscapes, flowers, birds, and the ubiquitous cat. Aside from the aforementioned platypuses, this is an excellent collection of usable and attractive designs.
