Splendor in the Glass: Creating Stained Glass Beyond the Ordinary
Splendor in the Glass Creating Stained Glass Beyond the Ordinary Author:Holly M. Stedman Splendor in the Glass;Creating Stained Glass Beyond the Ordinary, certainly lives up to it's name! Not your ordinary, ho-hum, tired out, worn out, over done, been-there-done-that, future yard sale project book! This delightful, 120 page, fact filled book, with over 23 full-color, uniquely different projects (there's no conventiona... more »l theme here) and over 45 Design, Color, and Tech tips inspires exploration, experimentation, and nonconformity in your design process.
Holly Stedman has enjoyed stained glass crafting for over twenty years. While Holly creates her own designs, most of her friends involved in glass are married to pattern books, claiming they aren't creative, don't know what they want, or just don't know where or how to begin. Splendor in the Glass helps those design and make stained glass like they have never before - and love it! While the projects presented may be reproduced, (scaled patterns are included) you are continually encouraged to detach from the printed pattern and improvise, modify and expand your thinking. Consider these projects as a starting point from which to create your own special masterpieces. It's refreshing to read the engaging, candid narrative included with each project. How, why, who, or what actually inspired each piece, and hurdles or problems encountered during fabrication are shared in a fun, non-tecky, conversational tone.
Splendor in the Glass will be sure to stimulate and help develop your creative ability; takes out the dregs, and adds the fun in creating designs beyond the ordinary.« less
