Art Deco Stained Glass Pattern Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780486235509)

The geometric orientation of Art Deco and its brilliant hard colors make this style perfect for the medium of stained glass. This collection contains 91 newly rendered, yet authentic, Art Deco patterns, which constitute a rich source of ideas for stained glass workers. The designs represent the major Art Deco motifs and sub-styles -- abstract patterns in both straight-line and curved motifs; representations of men and women in characteristic 1920s garb; geometrically stylized birds, trees, and animals; and the flowing forms of flowers and plants that are a holdover from the Art Nouveau period.
