Suncatchers Stained Glass Pattern Book/Connie Eaton

Delight the eye and please the spirit with attractive stained glass sun- or lightcatchers. When time's at a premium, craftworkers will find miniature stained glass art just the thing to satisfy the creative urge. Lightcatchers need far less time to complete than larger projects but still produce a rainbow of dazzling colors. With over 100 patterns to choose from, beginners can fashion a butterfly, birds, flowers, toys, a whale, dolphin, and candle. For advanced craftworkers, there's a more challenging cornucopia brimming with fruit, a smiling sun, and a clown. Hang these stunning showpieces in windows, on lampshades, in front of burning candles -- any place where they catch and refract light. The results are spectacular. Templates of sturdy stock (many in actual project size) are ready to be cut out. Patterns can be enlarged, reduced, or used as is -- to suit personal needs. Stained glass artists will want to add this affordable volume to their working libraries as a source of gift ideas, holiday decorations, or simply to create unique items for personal enjoyment.
