BEWARE - This book is physically tiny.......2004-02-05

I obviously did not have read the reviews close enough. This is
a tiny book with pictures so small that it's useless to me.

Wright+glass=beauty.......2001-03-28

"Frank Lloyd Wright's Glass Designs," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of "mini-books" devoted to the work of one of the world's greatest architects. This volume, which explores Wright's interest in glass, contains many praiseworthy features: Lind's concise yet informative text, a wealth of stunning full-color photographs, fascinating sidebar quotes from Wright and others, and a useful bibliography for further reading.

The plentiful photographs truly capture the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. We can see his bold work with colored glass and geometric patterns in windows of many different shapes and sizes. It's marvelous to see how each glass creation complements the larger architectural space of which it is a part.

Houses represented in the book include the Darwin Martin house, the Schaberg house, the Roberts house, and many more. But my favorite photograph is a breathtaking two-page spread of the second Jacobs house. If you love Wright, if you love glass, or if you love the art of home design, you will certainly love this excellent little book.

Good things come in small packages.......2000-11-10

I ordered this book to get glass design ideas for my new house. It's tiny but worth its weight in gold. Sharp photographs (32/57 pp.) and minimal description provide just what I needed.

Wright at a Glance.......2000-05-17

Great coffee table book (despite its size). Lots of photos that give a quick oversight to the breadth of work by this architect/artist.

Great introduction for children to FLW's work .......2007-01-10

I used this coloring book in conjunction with an art/ art history lesson on Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and stained glass windows. The final colored pages look great no matter the skill level of the child because the black lines "hide" where some may color "outside the lines." I used the book with first graders.

Frank Lloyd Wright Stained Glass Designs.......2006-01-18

If you're a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and art, or if you like stained glass art, this coloring book can inspire your own designs. A few hours with a copy machine and some colored pencils can produce personally customized drawings for use in your own home. I recommend this book to the designers, and budding graphic artists in the crowd.

CASEY's FLLW Artglass books are the best out there, period!.......2004-12-29

I personally have spoken several times with Mr. Casey over the telephone. I've made some of the designs which are easy to work from in his books and he is very upfront about the glass availabilities,where to get the caming - - which the smallest triangular caming is no longer available as he's aware also from source in Chicago. Their machine die's are worn and no longer make accurate runs of it. I had to use next largest size. The results are very nice and worth it.

I'm glad someone with the abilitiy to do 'architecturally' accurate drawings took the time to do so and with the accuracy of ZEUS....Dennis is wonderful. We hope only to someday find any one of the over 150+ panels and over 80 sets of french doors done in artglass from the Midway Gardens project torn down after the prohibition years. The colors were clear, red, white, black however the exact orientation of the colors is left up to some interpretation. I've tried to get closer by comparing known photos of the multiple sets of panel types & sizes used along with the actual designs as drawn by Mr. Wright which vary in detail some from the completed glasswork done in Chicago. The Glass maker is still unknown but assumed as one of the larger in town and the drawings from their firms no longer exist to anyones knowledge so far in researching this now for several years. Should anyone out there actually possess one of these panels or door panels please contact one of the larger collections in the country for exhibiting it. None have ever been found or known about in the art world so far.

PLEASE add this book and Dennis' other books to your collection if you are a serious ARTGLASS and Frank Lloyd Wright buff. I highly recommend them. bravo ---encore please Dennis!

Excellent resource for glass designs!.......2003-07-22

I love this design book! While I was student teaching I used it to explain the layout that Wright used for his stained glass windows. Students could copy the designs to regular sheets of paper and then color them they way they wanted to. This book contains designs on vellum paper..not regular pulp paper, thus creating the "window" look. This is an excellent resource for teachers and students!

Great source for stained glass!.......2003-02-18

I just took my first stained glass class, and I was looking for a pattern book of designs that I actually LIKED, as opposed to the schmaltzy stuff that is so easy to come by. I own a bungalow, and I love Frank Lloyd Wright, so this was perfect for me. It's also fairly easy for beginners, because most of the patterns have only straight lines - no curves.

There are only a few colored examples, but if you're familiar with Wright's work, or if you're creative enough to come up with your own colors, this is a great resource! I was just so happy to find this! I really didn't want to spend hours creating unicorns & rainbows!

Nice Book - But NOT a pattern book.......2006-06-23

I actually DID read this lovely book accentuated by wonderful pictures....just be aware that it is NOT a book of stained glass patterns although the pictures will surely provide ample ideas for you to adapt. It'll be difficult NOT to get excited about doing some 'lightscreen' projects around your home or office where you DO want want to see outside, unobstructed light and scenery with either full panels or partial panels. Am I glad I bought this book?...You bet!

Decent pictures of many FLLW glass designs.......2000-11-07

This book has a fairly decent amount of photos of FLLW's glass designs, and the quality of the photos is decent also. I haven't read much of the book since I'm mainly interested in the photographs of his windows. There's not a lot of quality books out there for his stained glass (unless you want to spend $... on the Glass Art book), so this is a worthwhile introductory purchase.

Book Description

Always creative, Frank Lloyd Wright was renowned for the surprising and extraordinary ways in which he used glass in the buildings and furniture he designed. From the stylized art glass of his famous Prairie houses to the pierced-textile block of his California homes to his masterpiece, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, see how the architect incorporated glass with his usual creative flair and attention to the tiniest detail. 15 case studies focus on some of his finest buildings, and a tour of another 20 buildings highlights his spectacular work with glass. A wonderful tribute to one of America's greatest treasures, this volume is an intriguing exploration for anyone interested in seeing how the placement of windows and glass can dramatically affect the design of a building.

From the Publisher.......2005-12-04

"Frank Lloyd Wright loved to work in glass; he regarded the substance as 'the materialization of light, the weightless medium of sight,' and used it in innovative ways, providing a brilliant counterpoint to the solid mass of traditional building materials. Over the course of his long career, Wright's use of glass increased, diminishing the visual barrier between inside and outside and creating dazzling effects of light within his houses. This journal presents four designs adapted from Frank Lloyd Wright's work in art glass. These geometric patterns, executed for his Prairie Style houses, represent some of his most spectacular ornamental achievements.

This book has a lot of nice patterns and designs. It gives examples of a variety of woods and finishes. I would have liked more celtic knots, but I can't be disappointed with the number of patterns, detailed photographs, and tips.

Book Description

A bad hairday like no other!

In the middle of winter, in a tucked-away town,
Where the snow never seemed to stop coming down,
In a mountain-sized house, the color of sky,
Lived a girl with thick hair that took too long to dry.

So begins this delightfully irreverent tale, written in the tradition of Dr. Seuss. When a spirited little girl named Ruthie Bon Bair refuses to dry her wet hair before bedtime, she is plagued by an unusual host of difficulties—plants and flowers and other outrageous items begin to sprout from her scalp! As her condition escalates, Ruthie and friends attempt to control the growing vegetation in her hair, but not without some surprising, and hilarious, results. . . .

I absolutely fell in love with this book. Even as an adult, I found myself relating to the imagery that was brought forth through the rhyming and illustrations. It's written and provides a message in such a way that both children and adults will find themselves identifying and chuckling throughout. What a talented author!
