Patterns included in this book are OK - it would have been very helpful to include a few pages of patterns showing colors - only the cover is in color.
Would be even better if it came with a CD with the patterns on it. The way the patterns are presented in the book makes it really hard to resize one to actually use. There are numerous patterns per each page, so to transfer one to your computer via scanning envolves scanning an entire page, editing the image so it displays only the pattern you want and then transfering it to your resizing program is tedious & a waste of time. I would have gladly paid an additional $5 with this purchase in order to have a CD to work from.
I am doing large window units and was so very pleased to see some real useful designs - clean lines, good for all levels of expertise, well organized in categories - a real must for my library.
Nice designs! Provides ideas for your artwork. I like to just sit and look at the pictures, too. I have a copier which enlarges so these patterns will be useful. Would have liked to see the designs in colors instead of all black and white. Nice addition to my library of patterns.
This is a a well done book on victorian windows of different sizes and shapes. Though not for those who need the colors done for them. The book has no color which for me allowed me to explore my color choices. I have used many of the designs in this book and all are easy enough for most beginning intermediates.
I actually bought this to add to my mosaic library because I likes some of the designs to use for borders. Any stained glass pattern can also be used for a mosaic pattern, even glass-on-glass with grout instead of solder.
This book is just what I needed to do the front windows of my home. Instructions are easy to understand and the patterns offer something for everyone.
Lot of different ideas and color to get hints from in doing work in the future.Can't wait to get started.
