Editorial Reviews

Review
""Jillian's books never disappoint us! Our customers love the designs."

Product Description
Thirty-two designs for creating colorful stained glass dragons of every shape, mood, and attitude are featured in this guide. From the fearsome, fire-breathing Cernunnos to the freewheeling Gwydion who loves to dance and play; from Liorth the ice dragon, who patrols the North, to Elliot the baby dragon, who just needs someone to hug, dragon patterns for every occasion are provided. Each design includes tips for construction and a verse that further defines the personality of each of these mythological creatures. With full-color examples, this book provides inspiration to crafters who find creating their own designs a challenge. These designs can be used with other crafts such as quilting, appliqué, machine or hand embroidery, and silk or china painting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great designs, January 9, 2007

By	Sandy Bradfield "Sandy B," (Valley Village, CA) - See all my reviews

In Dragon Wings, Jillian Sawyer has shown us detailed pictures of her fanciful works in stained glass, and then gone a step further to include a template for each design, allowing us to follow her steps in the design process. I find the book to be simple and straight forward; simply focusing on the items at hand rather than taking pages to talk about herself. Jillian Sawyer's books are an inspiration for anyone interested in creating artful representations of these wonderful creatures. As a quilt artist, I enjoy following some of her design elements in the construction of my applique projects. As stated in the book info., these designs can be adapted to many projects: quilting, embroidery, painting or glass work. Overall, a wonderful source of inspiration.

I wanted a book with lots of dragons in it.
This book has some dragons, however it also has other things as well.
I liked the book but it was no where as good as her sea faery
book.
