Editorial Reviews

Stained-glass ornaments are popular in gardens for their light-catching qualities. In this collection of floral and insect design projects for stained-glass studio artists and hobbyists, Shannon and Torlen, who run their own glass studio and coauthored Stained Glass Mosaics, provide detailed instructions and enlargeable patterns for suncatchers, candleholders, and ornamental stakes. Theirs is a nice, practical book for public library collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
