Two New Books Now Available
We have released two new pattern books. They are now available from your favorite glass craft supplier. Here are the details:
Box Column Lanterns
by Jill Williams
Box Column Lanterns bring a gentle glow of yesteryear to any home. Jill Williams’ designs, inspired by Art Nouveau, Craftsman and Mission styles, are incorporated into decorative 4” x 14” square column lamps.
The lanterns’ simple shape and classic designs coordinate well with either traditional or contemporary decor. Full-size patterns and instructions for 12 lanterns are included. Simple to construct, these projects are appropriate for both beginners and more advanced glass crafters. The lanterns are intended to be lighted by a 40-watt electric bulb. Adding the electric to the lantern is made easy with instructions and clear illustrations. Creating projects from the patterns in Box Column Lanterns is a great way to feature the inherent beauty of backlit stained glass while having functional items to show for your efforts!
Garden Harmonies: Fused Glass Windchimes
by Terri Lee English
Create your own fused glass windchimes with this new book by Terri Lee English.
Patterns and instructions are included for eight different windchimes, as well as a few variations. A beautiful sunflower bowl project is also included. As pleasant to listen to as they are to look at, these creative designs can be made with colorful glass or clear textures to fit any decor. The finished chimes make wonderful accents for your garden or outdoor spaces. They’re sensitive to breezes, weather resistant and make unique gift items for family and friends.
