Customer Reviews

Excellent Information and Great Projects! 5 Star Plus!

I really have enjoyed this book! I am not what I would consider an artist and I needed something I could do easily at home. This book gave me all the information I needed to know about all the paints on the market, and all of the relevant tools I needed - making it very easy to shop, and there was a project that worked with each of the paints. The projects are great, they are not cheesy like some other books I have but, rather they are elegant, classic, tasteful and easy to duplicate. You will find lots of great ideas and I found the book easy to follow, inspiring, full of very useful information, and something fun I can handle. As the author, Carin Heiden Atkins, says something like this in her introduction - leave your worries at the door, sit back, play your favorite music, and have a great time. You really can do this. I have recommended this book to many friends and I whole heartedly recommend this book to you.

Elegant and Easy!

Carin Heiden Atkins has provided thirteen gorgeous projects; from whimsical to elegant, from kids parties to champagne toasts . . . this book has it all. There are full-color step-by-step photos showing you how to paint each piece. If you want to learn to paint the gorgeous glass pieces that are all the rage now in the shops, this book is a great place to start. These are projects that do not require firing and are perfect for the person who is trying to create the style of painting found in upscale shops today. This is a book that I definitely recommend to crafters wanting to try glass painting.
