Books on mosaics, etching and fusing

The Fused Glass Handbook. by Gil Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds, after studying at the Pilchuck School in 1981, left behind his stained glass business of nine years and focused his energy toward the ancient art of glass fusing. Since that time, he and a handful of others, through countless experiments and information exchanges, have made public some of the techniques and secrets needed to successfully fuse glass. His study and involvement with fusing since its infancy makes Mr. Reynolds one of the nation's leading authorities on the subject.

Contains 14 dazzling designs. No molds required. The talented author shows how to use up your scrap glass by cementing it to things, such as bird baths, terra cotta pots and the like. Ideas for picture frames and mirror frames abound.

The irrepressible Donna has a follow-up book. This time there is no picture of her, but the price is still the same. This one has 15 stepping stone designs in the standard shapes.

This book is full of beautiful tabletop patterns, many of which can be converted to wall medallions or even transfered to vases & pottery. Each pattern includes a color photo of the completed project and complete instructions. The patterns are of things you might find in a garden -- Pansy, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Ivy, Clematis - as well as other appropriate designs such as a tropical fish and a mountain scene. 36pp.
