1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time, December 28, 2003

This review is from: Oriental Design Stained Glass Pattern Book (Dover Stained Glass Instruction) (Paperback)

I was very disappointed with this book. I'm not sure the artist has ever even done stained glass now that I have seen the book. The entire book is in black and white, no shades of grey. I'm fine with choosing my own color palette, but these designs are so detailed that it is difficult to tell where one object stops and the next object begins. I tried to color the images with colored pencils and had extreme difficulty. There is not one picture of a pattern actually completed in stained glass. The way some of the patterns are created, I can't see how they could possibly be completed in stained glass. This book may be useful to other types of artists as some of the pictures are quite beautiful, but I don't feel it is worth it for stained glass artists.

Even though I'm selling my copy, I have to say that the book wasn't helpful to me. I do glass painting myself using stained glass patterns and this book was pretty useless. Also please note: the photo the back is NOT in the book, which was why I bought it new in the first place! Yes the patterns are lovely but again I agree, they would better used in another medium. (Watercolor maybe?)
