Synopsis

With a minidrill, engraving pen, or hand engraver, anyone can use these 30 patterns to embellish glass. Add decorative swirls, butterfly or Celtic knotwork corners to a frame; personalize drinking glasses with a classical wreath and initials, and more. “A large collection...motifs are arranged into general categories such as flowers or birds...would be useful in crafts collections.”—Library Journal.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Pattern sourcebooks tend to be interchangeable for various crafts, which is somewhat the case with these two books. Gear and Freestone's work is a large collection similar to Mary McCarthy's The Crafter's Pattern Sourcebook (LJ 10/15/99). These motifs are arranged into general categories such as flowers or birds without further identification of item or source. However, these omissions probably do not diminish its usefulness. Everett offers a more limited collection of designs with instructions for etchings and photographs of finished pieces, some rather complex landscapes for advanced projects. Both books would be useful in crafts collections needing more design source material.
