SummaryThe classic style and beauty of painted glass are captured in this stunning selection of step-by-step projects which take their inspiration from Egyptian, Celtic, Greek and Roman, Chinese and Japanese, Art Nouveau and Victorian periods.
Using simple techniques, Judy Balchin demonstrates how to emulate the traditional look and feel of genuine stained glass. Colourful, specially commissioned photographs and easy-to-follow instructions are used to illustrate how to create stylised flowers, ornamentation, knotwork patterns, Tiffany style pictures and more. Tracing, outlining, painting, mixing and blending colours, adding texture, gilding and applying decoration are covered in detail and the projects include panels, bookmarks, tiles, window hangers, bottles, mirrors and vases.
