In this volume, noted artist and stained glass expert Ed Sibbett, Jr., has designed a handsome collection of alphabet and number patterns specifically for work in stained glass. In 61 pages of eminently usable patterns, Sibbett has rendered the letters of the alphabet in seven different fonts, six accompanied by the numerals 0 through 9. Styles range from a romantic Gothic to a bold, block-like modern and include examples of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and abstract geometric lettering. Stained glass workers can apply these designs to window panels, mirrors, light catchers, lampshades, mobiles, and many other objects. Craft enthusiasts will want to use them to add eye-catching initials, monograms, words, dates, or phrases to a wide variety of projects. Decorative Alphabets Stained Glass Pattern Book offers stained glass workers and craft enthusiasts a versatile treasury of inexpensive alphabet and numeral motifs that will add flavor to almost any project.

Very Useful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is very useful if you need to make signs or addresses in stained glass. The patterns are practical and well thought out. There are enough fonts offered that you will be able to find one that suits the correct time period or look you are trying to achieve. I am not aware of another book like this that specializes in only letters and numbers so it fills a specific need and is essential for that specialty.
