Book Reviews of Prairie Art Glass Drawings - Volume 1
Book Review: Just what I was looking for to do crafts
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this and Volume II at the same time. 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. I forget what the binding is called, but it is the plastic half-tube with many little tabs, like what you'd find in a workbook or marketing presentation. 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.
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!
