The Stained Glass Garden: Projects and Patterns: Projects & Patterns

Great source of inspiration

This is an excellent book both for those new to stained glass and those with more experience. Great and out of the ordinary projects with detailed instructions and helpful hints. Particularly liked the Luna Moth, Flower Candelabras and Patio Lanterns. Would thoroughly recommend.

This book is quite gorgeous! It has so many ideas to inspire and stimulate and is also just wonderful to browse through. A small criticism is that some of the projects involve more than just stained glass: several of them need a base or stand that needs to be constructed by someone good at DIY.

Lovely book lots of interesting and exciting items to make that you can actually find usefull aswell as looking beautiful. Good mix of copper foil and leaded came projects. All in colour with easy to follow step by step instructions. All in all fabulous,

I was thrilled with this book. The designs are beautiful, all drawn from nature many are three dimensional. Many of the projects are challenging so I would not recommend it for a beginner but there is a helpful comprehensive first chapter on equipment, tools and techniques.

As a beginner I found the book a good all-round source of information

Looked ok used as present

Love love LOVE this book. Full of the most beautiful designs and step by step instructions.

Great color photos and clear instructions. A good intro section with tips and everything needed to get started. Then projects in the book are organized by increasing degree of difficulty. All projects are lovely and tastefully designed. I've viewed a few books on this subject at the library and local stained glass supply stores and this book is my favourite hands down so the only one I bought.

Das Buch ist klasse! Es hat sehr viele vielseitige "Projekte" und die Schritt-für-Schritt-Erklärungen sind mit Bildern gut kombiniert. Ich freue mich schon auf vielen neuen Sachen, die sich mit durch dieses Buch ergeben haben.

Great book, everything I hoped for. Excellent service - thanks Amazon

I wish I had this book when I started out doing stained glass!!! This is a VERY detailed, excellent source for ALL aspects of learning copper foil AND came techniques, from definitions of types of glass, tools needed, to clearly written step-by-step instructions -- complete with multiple pictures -- for projects that include all sorts of designs, such as simple hanging designs to designs that incorporate water! When I started taking classes at my local glass hobby store, I went to my local library to obtain background information and beginner books to learn more than just picking up tidbits while in-class. This is THE book EVERY newbie and someone who wants to learn something more beyond the basics. Besides, just like the authors, I too am an avid gardener so to have two of my passions -- gardening and glass -- in one book ties everything together like a hand and glove. A BIG thank you to the authors for putting together not only such a concise book but also one that I have been searching for such a long time. It is obvious that the authors' experience and knowledge form the basis of this absolutely wonderful book!
