The great artists of cathedral windows began it. Louis Comfort Tiffany perfected it And now you can explore it -- the look of stained glass. Almost any glass surface can glow with brilliant color. With glass paint -- not real stained glass -- these simple instructions and imaginative designs turn any window in your home into a work of art. Or paint a glass art border to frame an outdoor view. You can paint a piece of glass or plastic and hang it in a window for amazingly versatile moods, for holidays, for parties, or simply for your own pleasure. Besides these vertical techniques, you'll find complete instructions for three-dimensional projects, ranging from jars and display plates to self-adhering sun-catchers for windows or patio doors. The materials you need are inexpensive, and you get dozens of patterns, many full-sized, appropriate for every type of project. Best of all, the photo gallery of finished designs will stir your imagination and show you all the places in your home where glass art can charm and inspire.
I love this book! I had never done any type of glass painting before I read this book and followed its instructions. Using only this book as a reference, I decorated my kitchen windows and they look very much like real stained glass. The method and materials described here are quite different than those found in other glass painting books. The book is loaded with lots of lovely designs and includes the patterns for all of them.
Not Bad!

I highly recomend this book if you're just starting for its detailed instructions. It's also great if you've been at it for years because it has many cute patterns for special occasions and other times!
