This collection of more than 100 authentic Art Nouveau stained glass patterns, beautifully adapted by Carolyn Relei, includes boldly outlined figures of a lovely winged damsel surrounded by flowers and vines, a vase of lush blossoms, a butterfly whose wing patterns are repeated in the design's floral theme, and scores of other exotic, stylised images.
Handsomely displayed in rectangular, oval, circular, and semicircular frames, these copyright-free patterns - accessible to stained glass workers at all levels of expertise - will also find a wide range of use among graphic artists, designers, and needlecrafters. Some patterns, such a single blossom in an oval frame, are simple enough for beginners; more challenging motifs, such as a rectangular presentation of full-blown blossoms on willowy stems, will appeal to intermediate and advanced craftworkers.
