Easy Stained Glass Panel Lampshades - (Dover Crafts: Stained Glass) by Anna Croyle (Paperback)

About the Book

Original patterns for panel-style lampshades feature butterflies, dogwood blossoms, and other easy-to-replicate continuous designs. Some patterns include foil overlays; all offer beautiful but not overly detailed designs that ensure successful completion.

Book Synopsis

From delicate dogwood blossoms to hardy oak and maple leaves, this collection of stained glass lampshade patterns offers a glorious assortment of original designs. Beautiful but not overly detailed, the easy-to-replicate designs ensure a successful finished product for stained glass artists and hobbyists.
The four-sided panel-construction shades, most of them four-sided, feature motifs that flow in a continuous fashion to form an overall pattern. Less rigid than the prairie style commonly associated with panel shades, the designs are much easier to re-create than the complicated Tiffany styles. Simple yet elegant patterns include foil overlays that add a special flair to the designs, which use standard-size vase caps that can be resized for a variety of bases.
