A lampshade which was originally built as 24" in diameter may not adapt readily to, for instance, a 12" diameter shade because of the detail involved. This information is included to give you an idea of the basic limitation of the design. The primary purpose of this book, as with any idea book, is to suggest basic themes or designs which can be adapted to, or modified into more appropriate schemes.Įach of the facing pages gives, in addition to dimensions, some other details, such as the number of individual pieces of glass. Many photographs of fine stained glass lamp shades are shown in expensive books, but the books are not readily available to the general public.

Some instructions are provided, including how to enlarge the pattern and what underpinnings to use. The birds and the landscapes are made up of two pairs of complementary panels which, when viewed together, make a single scene.

Most of the lamp designs are a single panel repeated four times. Patterns include 8 flower designs (rose, tulip, iris, pansy, waterlily, magnolia, day lily, and poinsettia), 3 landscapes (southwest, mountains, lighthouse), a patriotic design (star and stripes), 2 bird scenes (chickadee/cardinal and hummingbirds), a sunrise, a Victorian design, an art nouveau design, and a dragonfly. Is 10" simply too small for a lampshade? We report, you decide. This book contains 18 patterns which, if used as is, would make lampshades 10" square however, for some reason the author instructs us to enlarge the pattern 120%, 140% or 160% to make lamps 12", 14" or 16" square, respectively. This is an ideal lampshade pattern book for anyone who wants to make a lampshade but feels intimidated by those prodigious 300-piece monsters (beautiful monsters though they may be). Aside from the aforementioned platypuses, this is an excellent collection of usable and attractive designs. Just as with Books I and II, this stained glass lantern design book has something for everybody - sailboats, sun and moon, a chameleon, a fairy, a lighthouse, angel fish, some landscapes, flowers, birds, and the ubiquitous cat. If you can suggest a collective noun for any of the above, please drop us a line. In fact, there is no collective noun for platypuses for this very reason, just as there is no collective noun for hermits. Multiply that by three sides and you get 12 of the little fellows, which would be fine for the platypus aficionado, except platypuses are solitary creatures and do not congregate.

among the beautiful - nay, breathtaking - designs, we see a group of four of platypuses. We don't want to imply that the good and talented people at Aanraku are running out of ideas for their three-sided lanterns, but.
