They are reminiscent of a bygone era. These 30 patterns for terrariums and planters are ideal as beginner, intermediate and advanced projects. All have a materials list, color photo and illustrations. Projects include: bowls, planters, vases, terrariums and a Wardian case, in a variety of types and sizes. They are thoughtful gifts, valued for their rarity and skill of construction. Black and white photos demonstrate construction techniques.
I decided to get into stained glass. I have been working with sand blasting glass for a while. This was a pleasant change. I have made some of the Terrariums and Planters but they did not last long. Mother and children wanted them. The patterns in the book are good for using.
I mistakenly thought that this book was about actually planting terrariums. So when I first received it by mail, I was much disappointed. However, I decided to try to make the most of it. So, I took it to a local shop in my neighborhood where people make and sell beautiful stained glass pieces. I've now entered into a nice partnership with a young woman who is very excited about the plans and instructions for building your own glass and stained glass terrarium containers. She is in love with this book and says it is well written for someone like her to know how to proceed. We're going to make a great team as she will build these masterpieces from this book, I will then do the planting. I can't wait!
The patterns are exactly what I was looking for.
