Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Real stained glass is glorious--and terribly expensive. (Yes, you can construct your own, but it requires advanced cutting and soldering techniques, not to mention costly materials.) With translucent glass paint, however, a simulated stained-glass look is now possible, and the effect is a pretty decent imitation of the real thing. Plaid's "Gallery Glass" is the industry leader and is available at almost any craft store for minimal investment. By tracing pattern outlines with simulated liquid leading and filling in the design with some of the 24 window colors, anyone can give their windows, glass doors, and home accessories the appearance of stained glass. Plaid's own book on the subject offers good directions and photos and complete patterns. Though the smaller items (suncatchers, night lights, candlestands) tend toward the cutesy, the large-scale window designs are often restrained and sophisticated. Some practice is required to achieve a professional look, but the basic methods are quite easily learned. --Amy Handy

Product Description

With glass paint, almost any glass surface can glow with the look of stained glass. Turn a window into a work of art with a painted glass border, or hang painted glass in a window for a festive holiday or party mood.

I love this book! I had never done any type of glass painting before I read this book and followed its instructions. Using only this book as a reference, I decorated my kitchen windows and they look very much like real stained glass. The method and materials described here are quite different than those found in other glass painting books. The book is loaded with lots of lovely designs and includes the patterns for all of them.

I highly recomend this book if you're just starting for its detailed instructions. It's also great if you've been at it for years because it has many cute patterns for special occasions and other times!
