This book by Leslie Gibbs, is a sequal to her TROPICAL WATERS reviewed
by us previously. It contains numerous sea designs, simple to complex
with quite a lot of narrow wavey pieces of glass to cut. |

That is not to say that this is not a great pattern book. It is, and it reaches out to Leslie's usual market. There are many sea life pictures, mostly designed for the young. As I have said with some of her other books, a little judicious work on the eyes and you can mature the designs easily. Patterns include: Sea Horse, Manatee, Shark (very good) Marlin, Spinner Dolphin, Clownfish, French Angelfish, Sea Turtle, Sea shells, Mermaids,Dolphin and calf, Orca and calf, Blacktip Shark (also excellent), Spotfin Butterflyfish, and combinations and ideas using these. |
