From the Author
This is the only book that I know of, to date, in the stained glass industry of original prairie style window designs. I learned about Frank Lloyd wright in the early 90's when I had to do research on his style in order to design lamp- shades for my employer. I was really taken by his "prairie style" of design and felt a connection to my own work. Making the designs for this book was a joy because I really like this style of design.
About the Author

This led to a job designing decorative mirrors and a start in the decorative accessories industry. Throughout his career he has designed glass and mirror products as well as stained glass windows, lampshades and gift items for nationally distributed companies.

Nice Designs But No Photos of Finished Projects,
By
This review is from: Prairie Designs for Stained Glass Windows (Paperback)
This book has some very nice designs, but I was disappointed that there were no photographs of completed projects. I am not very familiar with the prairie style, so I would have liked getting some suggestion from the designer as to possible colors, textures, and layout. A few of the patterns have shading (10 out of 48) to suggest color layouts, but of course the design I wanted to make was not shaded (Murphy's Law I guess).

This review is from: Prairie Designs for Stained Glass Windows (Paperback)
I was disipointed in this book, however I blaim myself for not reading who designed the designs of the illustrations.I was under the impression that the word original ment by F.L.W's originals. The illustrations are all very nice, however they lack color suggestions and any hint of where they may have been used.
