Traditional Doorways Stained Glass Pattern Book

Through the centuries, the rich tones and lovely designs of stained glass art have enhanced the doorway and entries of countless buildings, providing a welcoming aura of beauty and light. The appealing and highly inviting patterns in this splendid sourcebook make it easy for craftspeople to create 163 traditional motifs, ideal for use in sidelights, fanlights, transoms and other doorway configurations. Based on authentic originals, the attractive designs feature a dazzling array of subjects, including geometric configurations, florals and foliates in curvilinear presentations, and more. (A magnificent peacock, in a fan-shaped format, is especially spectacular.) Reminiscent of exquisite Victorian and Art Nouveau designs, these lovely patterns come in a number of useful shapes: rectangles, squares, circles, semi-circles and ovals. Artists, artisans and craftspeople looking for patterns that evoke the charm of a bygone era will find these attractive copyright-free stained glass designs lend themselves equally well to a host of other art and craft projects.
