CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Great introduction for children to FLW's work -
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 -
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! -
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! -
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! -
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!
