Book, Decorative Birds

This volume offers the stained-glass worker 74 striking patterns for creating a variety of familiar and exotic birds. The subjects include such exotic avian specimens as the peach-faced lovebird, white-bellied caique, and Sulphur-crested cockatoo. Among the other birds depicted in easily workable patterns are the snowy owl, pheasant, raven, Gouldian finch, eagle, cockatiel, Mandarin duck, ring-necked parakeet, hummingbird, crane, quail, peacock, parrot, mynah bird, macaw, racquet-tailed kingfisher, and many other varieties.
The clearly outlined and royalty-free patterns — complete with identifying captions — come in a host of shapes and configurations that make them a versatile resource not only for stained-glass work (panels, windows, lampshades, etc.) but for other crafts and graphic projects as well. (72 pages)
