Most of the designs in this book are for Victorian style windows. The rest are a smattering of Prairie, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Modern. They are in black and while, although the cover depicts three of the designs in full color. All drawings are done in approximately 1:6 scale, so they would need to be enlarged -- unless, of course, you are working on a Victorian mansion for Barbie or GI Joe, in which case they are nearly perfect.

We were impressed with every one of the patterns in this book, which very nicely capture the graceful positions and unique costumes of 19 dances from around the world, including the waltz, cha cha, flamenco, Japanese fan dance, and Irish step dancing, as well as several ballet scenes. There are also some women who appear to be doing a dance to nature, or to the sky, or something; and some women who look like they're in a harem.

A collection of stained glass designs drawn from actual windows found in London and the South of England. All of the nearly 400 designs are traditional, from Victorian to the 1940s; they are copies of windows in residences and do not include any religious work. As all designs are from actual windows, the practicality of their craft use is assured. 8" x 11". 72 pages. Dover Publications.

FREE! From our capacious basement, we have uncovered this ancient book (circa 1972, with various reprints) of line drawings, wash prints, and other depictions of cartoons and mechanics' renderings of stained glass windows. These are photocopies of studio catalogs, building supply company catalogs and brochures, put together into a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" bound book of 284 pages. The cover boasts "over 1000 designs" and truly, the authors are probably right. This is strictly an idea book. None of the drawings can be enlarged to become cutting diagrams. Some of the reproductions are poor, but back there in 1972 none of us was perfect. The cover is misleading, because those old studios didn't deal in that kind of naughtiness. Limit 3 per customer.

While no stained glass transom, sidelight, or door insert can truly be called "easy", these 100 patterns have been designed with simpler cuts and fewer pieces than are typically seen in such patterns, yet they still maintain a traditional look and feel. Each two-page spread contains a set of patterns that work well together. For example, you will find a set of two matching sidelights and a complementary transom; a fan light and a matching door insert; or the whole kit and kaboodle: a transom, two sidelights and two door inserts.

Attention all anthophilous artisans: These 19 patterns for stained glass windows illustrate a variety of showy flowers: iris, rose, tulips, sunflowers, Bird of Paridise, orchids, lily, daisy among others. Most of the flowers depicted are realistic, while a few are stylized. Each pattern is shown as a line drawing (the pattern itself), a color illustration to show alternative color selections, and a larger color photo of a finished window. Instructions for enlarging are included. From Wardell Publications.

Safari and jungle animals are depicted beautifully in these 12 patterns, each of which span across a page spread (so you'll need to carefully remove the staples to get at them). Here you will find patterns for three lions, a lioness, two giraffes, two elephants, a tiger, a leopard, a monkey, a panda and a zebra, many of them with a (presumably) hot desert sun framing their faces perfectly. A small version of each is reproduced in color on the front and back covers.

For the orchid afficionado, this well crafted book contains 17 designs for orchid projects, including windows, lampshades and jewelry boxes. Each design is anatomically correct, and is denoted by its scientific name in binomial nomenclature. The popular "Showy Lady's Slipper", or Cypripedium reginae, is represented twice, in a panel as well as a lampshade. The recommended glass selections of ripples and mottles create some breathtaking results. As with most books from Wardell Publications, some instructions, tips and tricks are included that will be useful for even the experienced craftperson.

New! The idea behind this book is that the images represented have symbolic meaning -- oak leaves represent endurance and long life, a heart represents love and friendship, wheat represents abundance, and so on. Installing these in your home sends a welcome message for visitors. (All you hermits out there might want to steer clear of this book.) Most of these patterns are intended as sidelights, transoms and door inserts, so they'll need to be enlarged significantly to fit your particular space. The oak leaves and stars patterns are especially comforting and inviting; the spider web (with spider!), not so much. Softcover. From CKE Publications.

New! There are 40 patterns in this appropriately named book, including two full size window patterns. All of the lovely women in this book are well proportioned, in the sense that they aren't cartoon-ish, and are all pleasant to the eye. We have maidens and princesses of Arthurian legend, a Native American legend, enchanted forests, and mermaids galore. Perfect for pagans, and we mean that in the nicest way.

As with all the designs from Ms. Eaton, these drawings are quite stunning, and could be used as designs for creations other than those in stained glass. Heck, this book is enjoyable merely as a coloring book. To create these in stained glass you will probably want to enlarge these drawings, or just use portions of them, given the level of detail.

There's also a "sun and stars" pattern in this book, but we're not sure why. Eight full-sized designs, all of them about 16" x 20", or 16" round.

Eight full-sized window patterns, the largest being 20" x 30", evoking peaceful, fanciful settings in nature, such as romantically inclined swans on a pond, a blue jay on a country fence admiring some sunflowers, and a lorikeet (that's a bird, we're told) in some jungle foliage. One of the more interesting designs here, for the lepidopterists among you, is a butterfly garden containing butterflies in each of the stages of metamorphosis: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. Each design is shown in color photos, and the patterns are accompanied by information about how much glass you'll need, as well as suggestions for how to construct the windows.

As the title suggests, this book is a mixed bag of designs, from the relatively simple and cartoonish "Ba-loony Bunny", to the stunning "Majestic Iris." The images of birds, flowers and landscapes are particularly beautiful, and are alone worth the price of the book.

Mr. Hywel G. Harris owns and operates a stained glass studio in Nottingham, England. When you and I have been securely asleep in our little beds over here in the USA, Mr. Harris has been prowling around in junk-yards and abandoned houses in his neighborhood, photographing stained glass windows from the 1880 to 1939 period. He has made line drawings of them all, and this book is the result. Not full sized, of course, but you can enlarge and convert the drawings to full-sized working drawings for your own use.

An environmentally correct depiction of our North American friends of the forest. (The ones who don't drop into the garden during the early evening and wreck the entire thing.) These cute beasts are really harmless. The rattlesnake has been de-fanged, the grizzly has been de-clawed, and the lynx has been given a good talking to. So fear not, and proceed with confidence. 36 pages.

These full-size designs range from modest 6" x 18" to a tremendous 20" x 30". Despite the hippy-dippy cover, the designs are elegant and quite beautiful. In here you'll find an iris, tulip, rose, pansy and hydrangea, among others. For each design, the reader is instructed as to how much glass is needed.
