[.ca] Elegant Lamps Two (ISBN 0921520018)

Beautiful lamps, I wish I could make them all:
The book is a collection of 22 lamps. For each there is a full size lamp pattern and a single page of information pertinent to that lamp, such as: # of pieces, sides, height, bottom diameter, top diameter and base height(for the end table type lampshades). Also the colors are noted as well as the type of glass used. In the cover and the back of the book, you have color pictures of all of the lampshades in the book. These are not just renderings but actual pictures, so are very helpful. At the beginning of the book are hints on how to make lamp shades in general, which is pretty standard, and helpful, if you have no other source of information. Almost all of these lamps have a bevel or multiple bevel glass pieces being used. This is what makes some of them, look so interesting. You don't have to use these but many of them make the lamp they are set in. Of the 22 lamps included , there are: 9 hanging lampshades (15-21" bottom diameters) 9 lampshades that are for typical end tables (ranging from 16-20" base heights) 4 shades for gooseneck desk lamps. The most difficult part of this book is to choose which one to make and which ones not to make. They are all beautifully done and the bevels gives you an opportunity to experiment with this type of glass if you haven't already.
