About the Book

Book Synopsis

In this outstanding new collection of 78 royalty-free designs, stained-glass artist Harry E. Zimmerman presents a wealth of excellent renderings that are very workable for a variety of stained glass projects. The focus is on nature themes: many of the designs depict the sun, its light appearing through the clouds, bamboo plants, long reeds, and grasses. Also included are floral scenes with birds, small animals, and fish, plus many abstract designs, all imbued with the lovely, tranquil lines and rhythms of nature. Some of the compositions have a strong traditional feel, while others display a distinctively contemporary flair. Moreover, their varied shapes make them ideal for a broad range of stained glass work: windows, panels, and sidelights, mirrors, and much more. The beauty and adaptability of these designs will find an admiring audience among stained-glass artisans as well as those working in other arts and crafts.
