Free Downloads Sidelights, Fanlights And Transoms Stained Glass Pattern Book (Dover Stained Glass Instruction)
For well over nine centuries stained glass windows have adorned spectacular churches, important government buildings, and stately homes. It was not until relatively recently — during the Victorian era — that stained glass increasingly was used as an integral part of the design of middle-class, single-family residences.Traditionally, a favorite location for the placement of stained glass windows was on and around doors. Today the domestic use of stained glass windows as ornamental sidelights, fanlights, and transoms continues to be extremely popular. It is for this purpose that the fascinating stained glass patterns in this volume have been specially designed.The 180 patterns, of complexity varied enough to satisfy both the relatively inexperienced and the master crafters, represent many styles and themes: Art Nouveau, Art Deco, florals, birds, geometrics, and more. Each offers creative challenges in color design, glass cutting and construction. The patterns can be used singly or in conjunction with each other to dress up any door, or they can be adapted for many other stained glass applications. Depending on the size of the intended project, the patterns can be reproduced in larger or smaller sizes as necessary. All materials needed, including general instructions and tools for beginners, can usually be purchased from craft and hobby stores.

There are a lot of clear patterns with around 50 pieces. Many Flowers and a few birds. I am looking for transom and fan light patterns that feature birds and found only one pattern in this book that I could use. However, the flower patterns have really caught my eye.
This is one of my favorite source books for designs. I use them in computer application so the line size and clarity are important. Like all Mr. Sibbitt's books, the image quality is high. The designs also lend themselves well to a little adjustment in width or height adjustment. Many of the designs have similar components in them allowing one to use them for matching pieces for both transoms and sidelights.
Although this book has few color examples in it the patterns are all top notch. I like it. I will adapt some of the patterns, as I do all book patterns, into something more from my brain. This is a good idea resource book. The piece counts my make it more of intermediate use rather than for beginners.
I've done stained-glass painting for years and have owned several of Ed Sibbet's books through the years. The patterns are always worth every penny.
This was exactly what I was looking for: a collection of stained glass pattern ideas in the art deco style or similar. There are no color suggestions though, so I will have to get creative...
Lovely book with lots of great ideas.
