5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, February 17, 2003

This review is from: Authentic Art Nouveau Stained Glass Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
I absolutely love this book. It's definitely not for beginning stained glass crafters, though - lots of curves and intricacies. I'm looking forward to when I have the expertise to use some of the patterns.

There are 30 pages of some of the best art nouveau patterns I have ever seen. I've already used one of the patterns to create a needlepoint pattern, and I plan on using many more. Even better than I anticipated!

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Nouveau at it's splendid best!, September 2, 2004
This review is from: Authentic Art Nouveau Stained Glass Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
Although the designs in this book may not be for the beginning stained glass artist, the color combinations and whimsy incorporated in them will most certainly get your creative juices flowing! I spent several hours just thinking of how I might take just small segments of some of these masterpieces of glasswork to create my own projects. Although Art Nouveau as a whole "look" may be too much for some people, there are certain aspects of these works that are timeless and would fit with nearly any other design genre. Great book for any artisan or craftsperson in search of marvelous design ideas.

This review is from: Authentic Art Nouveau Stained Glass Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
A very nice book of art nouveau patterns...many of the patterns are large/complicated, but it does have some patterns that are doable for less experienced crafters. The only flaw in the book is that it doesn't have black/white images to accompany the full-color images, which means you'll have to scan it into Photoshop and fuss with it a bit to get a simple/crisp printable pattern.

The stained glass window designs included in this book are absolutely awesome. Almost every page shows several windows in full color. If you are looking for artistic abstractions from the plant world this book is a treasure. The designs are typically delicate and graceful. A few pages include narrow vertical and horizontal windows with more contemporary abstract designs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, August 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Authentic Art Nouveau Stained Glass Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This book is a treasure trove of patterns and ideas. I am an advanced stained glass artist, and these designs have opened the doors to a whole set of new design thoughts!

By themselves, the designs, even though some date to the 1860's, seem fresh and modern. The patterns are softly colored, and by just changing the colors, a whole new window appears.

If you are at all attracted to creating stained glass, by all means, pick up this book!
