Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maidens, Myths and Mermaids - 40 Stained Glass Patterns (Paperback)
I purchased this book as a gift for a friend who does intarsia wood pictures. The artwork is beautiful and the patterns are easy to follow and very clear. Two full size patterns are included also. The descriptions with each picture add to the understanding of the artwork. In one picture, they described how they learned what water turbulence looked like through their scuba diving experiences. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking mermaid and fantasy pictures and patterns.
