Stained Glass Prairie Design for Door and Sidelites



Here's an interesting new design for a door with two small windows and 2 sidelites.
My client has an awesome collection of southwest room decorations and is looking to dress up the entry way of his home.

Self publishing stained glass pattern book.

With all of the marvels of the internet there are some things you can do that in the past was either financially impossible or tremendous work.
The one thing I am pointing out is how easy it is to self publish a book. In my case it was creating a hard copy of all of my stained glass patterns.
The printing company Lulu.com has made it possible for authors to create books of their work and offer them for sale without printing minimums. Beyond books they also have other templates for calendars, posters and many other format medias.
I strongly recommend anybody with an idea or artistic content to look into self publishing.
