I bought this book for the line images of the designs, I use Tiffany designs in computer application. I also bought Mr. Sibbett's book "Art Nouveau Stained Glass Coloring Book" in which the designs are simpler. I was impressed with both books. Paired with a good-sized set of felt tip markers with fine points, this book is a great gift for a friend in the hospital or a grand child who has learned to "stay within the lines" to some degree. It is possible to scan these images, print them on high quality white paper, color them with the markers, then scan them again and print them on overhead transparency material. The result will have transparent colors and is beautiful put in a window.

This is not just a coloring book... in fact when I first bought this 'book' 10 years ago, I saw it more as a craft project. Inside the cover, you will find beautiful, uncolored reproductions of Louis Comfort Tiffany's stained glass artwork on a resiliant, translucent plastic 'paper'. The designs feature birds, flowers, and trees from some of Tiffany's most famous works. Sure you could color them and leave them in the book- but why? What I did was use a little adhesive and used one design to cover the 8.5 x 11 inch windows flanking my front door. They are beautiful colored or not. I get so many compliments I have people asking how I did what I did and where they can find the book! This book is pure artistic delight! Other stained glass designs are available as well. I'm buying more.

The book presents 16 color images on its covers.
The patterns on 16 pages are translucent black and
white patterns suitable for enlarging 300-800%.
The "coloring book" misnomer disguises the books use
for serious stained glass makers.

As others have said, this is so much more than a coloring book. I have a serious illness that really limits me and the time that I spent coloring these added so much to my days plus the fact that I could then display them so that I could look at them over and over. I have a wall that I displayed them on along with other stained glass designs that I love to look at. It is definitely a great book to add to any collection.

This coloring book is so beautiful, you might be afraid to color on it. The artwork is wonderful and detailed, and it's a great book for older children and adults.

I love stained glass. I think the stained glass coloring books are fantastic. This one has so many wonderfull designs in it. Glad to have added it to my collection.

I use watercolor in these books. I've made some beautiful suncatchers with "my" artwork from this book.

I love these Coloring books, and the saved me a ton in gas money. The only place that carries them , around here, is AC Moore and that is about 30 miles from here.
Thanks

Very different and a lot of fun to work on, and turn out beautiful. These pages are perforated and could be framed and hung in a window. Thank you.

Fun, unique and inspiring. We've colored a few of these and display them on the kitchen window. They are interesting enough for an adult and easy enough for a school age child.
