Books of patterns for windows and larger panels

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! 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. From Wardell Publications.

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.
