Tiffany style windows on your must do list? Try Connie Clough Eatons' "Tiffany Windows Stained Glass Pattern Book" pictures to the right. If you're more interested in learning to make lamp shades, check out "Easy Stained Glass Panel Lampshades" by Anna Croyle. For contemporary decorative items, you'll enjoy Noor Springael's "Creative Stained Glass", which has over 15 giftable projects appropriate for beginning stained glass artists. Any one of these is a great starting point for your glass art education! I've also included books with garden, quilt, and alphabet designs along with more traditional options like Prairie, William Morris and Victorian style projects.
