INTRODUCTION

Floral designs have a universal appeal for artists and craftsmen. The possibilities for variation in style and color range from muted, curvilinear blossoms to fiery, stylized forms. Florals are excellent as sources of inspiration for stained glass designs; the natural articulation between leaves, petals and stems works especially well in this medium.

Those who work with stained glass will welcome this book containing 96 splendid floral patterns of all kinds designed by Ed Sibbett, Jr. Whether experienced craftsmen or novices to the art of stained glass, all of those interested in florals will enjoy this collection of designs ranging from magnificent irises and poppies to exquisite lilies and tulips. It includes a number of naturalistic, geometric and abstract patterns of varying mood and inspiration, from the curves of the Art Nouveau style to the angularity and simplicity of the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.

This volume, with its newly created designs all suitable for actual craft projects (windows, lampshades, mirrors, ornaments, mobiles, boxes, and other free-form applications), is intended as a supplement to the standard instruction books now on the market (notably Stained Glass Craft by J. A. F. Divine and G. Blachford, Dover Publications, Inc., 0-486-22812-6).

Suppliers of glass and other materials, including general instruction books and tools for the beginner, should be listed in your local Yellow Pages.
