4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea book, December 28, 2000

This review is from: Art Nouveau Windows Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Design Stained Glass Coloring Book) (Paperback)

As a stained glass artist, this book got my creative juices flowing. The pictures are fairly complex, just like the stained glass of the 1920's era, and made me wish I had crayons or markers that could duplicate the textured, swirled, multicolored glass that was used during this time! It's a great starting point for people who'd like to take on more complex glass projects and who want to experiment with color combinations befhorehand.

This review is from: Art Nouveau Windows Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Design Stained Glass Coloring Book) (Paperback)

There are lovely stained glass ideas in this book, but... to use as a coloring exercise, you need to know that you really have to have felt tip pens to make the colours show up. There is a lot of black surrounding the designs and the "transparent" colouring areas are a light gray which cuts down on the brilliancy of any colouring.

This review is from: Art Nouveau Windows Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Design Stained Glass Coloring Book) (Paperback)

Get out your colored pencils, felt tip pens, or whatever you wish and get ready for some of the most satisfying, enjoyable and beautiful images of Art Nouveau Windows to color at your own whim.

This book is just lovely, and the possabilities of adding its pages to other crafts is very enticing.

Enjoy!
