These panels are easy to fabricate, some of the panels are enhanced with floral accents giving a bold and colorful appeal.

If you love the sea, you will enjoy this book with it's collection of ocean life. A sequel to the book Topical Waters, it features detailed octopus, jellyfish, manta rays, sailfish, and squid panels as well as a brilliant hued red hind grouper, delicate seahorses, mermaids with dolphins, water sprites and a tranquil scene of beach and shells.

Favorite Myths & Legends

One of my personal favorite pattern books! Create a character from mythology such as Lady Godiva, Diana the Huntress with her bow and arrow, Pandora releasing sorrows, but saving hope. Mythological spirits from the sea like Poseidon and a siren are included along with a powerful dragon, a Valkyrie, centaurs and the Hawaiian Goddess Pele with her skirt of streaming lava!


Fairies, Elves, & Angels

As the title suggests, this book is a delightful assembly of angels, including a guardian angel, a starlight angel, a twilight angel, an earth angel, and many more. If you love fairies and fantasy, you will find a four panel set of seasonal fairies, from a spring fairy perched on a leaf during a soft rain, to an autumn fairy painting the leaves in vibrant fall colors. Sweet, colorful patterns suitable for Valentines, Christmas, or everyday enjoyment.

Garden Art in Glass

A cheery gathering of creations to enhance your home or garden. You can choose to build these to hang outdoors, indoors, or to be built as colorful garden stakes. These projects come with step by step instructions illustrating how to either fuse or fabricate the patterns. Designs include a garden fairy, flamingo, butterflies, ladybugs, spider webs, dragonflies, and bumblebees.


Tropical Breezes
