Glass Bead Artistry: Over 200 Playful Designs
Full-color photos and line drawings explain how to make tiny, sparkling gifts of colored glass beads, including animals, sea life and creatures from outer space.
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945 for his "memory" play, "The Glass Menagerie"; it was his first success. His protagonist, Tom Wingfield, recalls events at his troubled home in St. Louis, where his suffocating mother, Amanda Wingfield, badgers him to locate a "gentleman caller" for his sister, Laura, a shy, lame girl who occupies herself with music and a collection of glass animals. Readers approaching this semi-autobiographical Southern Gothic drama will appreciate the quick-reference study helps offered here...
Step-to-step guide for glass painting, including templates and clear, colourful explanations. The book includes projects for absolute beginners (absolute fun also for children and their parents) as well as advanced material.
