From the back cover:
"Stained glass artisans will welcome this practical treasury of designs
incoroporating the timeless beauty of Celtic art and ornamentation. Striking
figures of the Gospel authors adapted from The Book of Kells, abstract
designs, sinuous snakes and fish, stylized birds, and improbable four-legged
creatures - all reworked from a host of authentic sources - comprise the
91 inventive motifs in the collection."
"Accented with tendril-like vines, symmetrical weaves, and intricate
interlacings, these authentic patterns range from dynamic linear designs
for decorating flat surfaces to patterns ideal for use in working with
three-dimensional objects."
"Attractively displayed in circular, oval, and rectangular frames,
the patterns are presented in convenient sizes that can be reproduced
in larger or smaller dimensions as needed. Together they represent and
indispensible resource for creating attention-getting window panels, wall
hangings, mirrors, boxes, mobiles, lampshades, and a multitude of other
stained glass projects."
