Niche stained glass book. I purchased this book for inspiration on how to incorporate stained glass for my garden and it did not disappoint. The book has large patterns for each progress and pictures of each step for those of us who learn visually. There are a wide variety of projects included and a good mix of floral versus fauna designs.
