LOTSA LAMPS by Plum Gully

This book has been on the market for a while, but deserves a look at this time of the year when students start to get a little more adventurous.

There are 26 designs ranging from Intermediate to easy. Most are for panel lamps but there are also a few fans.
Only a few colour photographs are on the cover.

There is an EXCELLENT TEDDY BEAR design, and I was also impressed by the Mother Goose fan lamp.

LANTERNS by Carolyne Kyle and Chuck Betts

This is another book that has been around for a while but is one of the few that has good designs for outdoor lanterns.

It is not just a design book. There are excellent chapters with detailed descriptions on how to make square and hexagon lanterns with side doors. Puts lanterns within reach of any stained glass artist.

11 designs with good colour photographs
