Whether you plate them or build them in one layer, each of the 19 patterns in this book will lead you to the construction of a floral window that’s simply outstanding.

The section on selecting glass for floral compositions identifies specific glass types, identified by number, that will help assure the best possible choices for maximizing the beauty of your projects. You receive a full color photograph of each completed panel (30 color photos and 16 illustrations), plus a full-size pattern that can be enlarged to any size you desire.
