About this title

Synopsis

This stunning collection of original modern stained glass patterns combines abstract designs with natural elements to create strikingly unusual effects. From graceful florals, set amid contrasting bands of color, to an enchanting portrait of an amphibious creature floating among rippling strands, the subjects can be executed with either of the customary techniques (copper foil or lead came) or a combination of the two approaches.
The 90 symmetrically balanced patterns come in a rich variety of shapes and sizes. Appropriate for every skill level, they are easily adapted for specific projects.

About the Author

Anna Croyle's career as a stained glass artist began with a gift certificate for a beginner's class from her husband in 2000. She had a natural ability for the craft, and was soon hired as a part-time artisan and full-time designer. Currently, she works on custom, made-to-order windows from her studio in Baltimore, Maryland. Dover published her first book of stained glass designs — and the three that followed.
