Excellent line drawings for detail August 20, 2008
I was looking for good detailed line drawings of Frank Lloyd Wright window designs, not for doing stained glass, but for other crafts. I had done several ceramic tiles with his simple designs. Dard Hunter designs also worked well for this, but was looking for something I could do in ceramics or mosaics. These books are perfect! Nice one-sided pages, on quality paper, and a lay-flat binding (plastic comb).

In Volume I, there are 12 residences/buildings represented, and 20 pages of window drawings. There are several pages of came details as well. It's nice to see the how one window may have been a side light window to another more (or much less) elaborate center window.

In Volume II some of the same buildings/houses are represented, but not the same windows in Volume I, and other houses too. There is also a section in Volume II for showing how to resize the designs. There are less came details in II, but it did not matter to me since I wasn't using the books for that purpose. The resizing section showed how quickly the design can look all wonky if stretched or shrunk incorrectly.

The two books together are perfect...some designs are fantastically complex, others beautifully simple--all wonderful!

I've already gotten better details of a design I wanted to tackle, better than guessing from a small window hanging or lamp photo. So if you want the detail of "is that line 1/3 the width or more like 1/2...or is it really 3 skinny sections???" These books will be a big help--just looking at the drawings will be an inspiration!
