So, it would be great to have instructions which allow to complete a relatively complex project in 2-3 days. In this book I tried to provide day-by-day instructions for four different projects which use one common element: stringers. We often underestimate the power of stringers and do not use them. Meanwhile stringers is an impressive artistic element and this book proofs that.\nAll these projects require some basic (and sometimes advanced) glass working skills, but if you don't have them now, you can learn from the book how to make glass combing, drill holes in glass, and so on.\n\nAll the projects described in the book require different techniques for implementation:\n\n- A rectangular plate \"Next generation\" requires \"3D-chevrons\" technique. A new simplified method is described in details only in this book and significantly less labor intensive compared to the original one provided in the previous my book \"From scrap to artworks with a vitrigraph\"\n\n- A beautiful vase \"Tartan napkin\" looks like a real fabric napkin vase. This \"fabric\" is also made of stringers\n\n- A rectangular plate \"Bubbled Mondrian\" has several new decorative elements which make an illusion of something lightweight and festive. All this decorative elements require stringers for implementation, but instead of stringers you see finally either bubbles or micro \"stained glass windows\".\n\n- A wall clock \"Red Planet\" is made using a glass combing technique. Using stringers during combing makes the resultant pattern fine and intricate.\n\nThere are 73 pages, more than 60 pictures and illustrations.","brand":"Games of Colors Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48122148716756,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/4731\/5668\/files\/7fd40b1d-il_fullxfull.1682078724_8kja.jpg?v=1781761562"},{"product_id":"e-book-weekend-projects-stringers-in-glass-fusing-ribbons-part-1","title":"e-book \"Weekend projects: Stringers in glass fusing.

These projects are sorted in order of their complexity. You may start from the easiest one which does not require advanced skills, and then gradually move to the next more complicated projects.\n\nAll the projects presented in the book require several hours for assembling and each can be easily completed during a weekend. The projects do not require any cold working, so all you need is a glass cutter and a kiln. Each project description contains a list of required glass and materials, lots of pictures and drawings explaining details of assembling, and firing schedules.\n\nIt's also a separate section which explains some theoretical basics which may help in designing of similar projects. I explained briefly principles of choosing glass colors, avoiding reactions, and predicting final results of optical illusions. In addition each project description has a chapter explaining calculation of required glass dimensions if you decide to make your own works of different size, colors and colorful patterns.\n\n\n\n78 pages, more than 50 pictures and illustrations.","brand":"Games of Colors Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48122148749524,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/4731\/5668\/files\/13ac5c9d-il_fullxfull.2785257986_tq54.jpg?v=1781761562"},{"product_id":"glass-fusing-for-beginners-complete-guide-e-book","title":"Glass Fusing for Beginners: Complete Guide E-book","description":"Embarking on the journey of glass fusing can be daunting, filled with uncertainties and questions: what's possible, what's not, and how certain glass works are achieved, among others. A glass kiln may seem intimidating, and glass fusing appears to be a form of alchemy, requiring one to appeal to the kiln gods for a successful project.\n\nWould you like to cast aside these apprehensions and master the creation of stunning glass art? If so, this book is tailored for you.\n\nThe book is divided into six sections, each elucidating fundamental aspects of glass fusing: Glass, Preparation for Fusing, Fusing, Kilns, and Beyond Fusing. These sections are structured to address the most frequent inquiries posed by beginners. You can either seek answers to specific questions or read through to acquaint yourself with the essential concepts and uncover the secrets of glass fusing. The questions are organized into categories for easy navigation. The final section provides comprehensive instructions for six practical projects.\n\nThere are 194 pages, more than 200 pictures and illustrations.

I added a special chapter which answers many questions asked by the fusers in Facebook groups related to glass fusing.\n\nI included two projects in which you will use techniques with chevrons, which I haven't described in the earlier books:\n1. A decorative square plate “Molten Ice”. In this chapter you will learn how to make diagonal chevrons – another type of 3D chevrons. This is the easiest project in the book.\n2. A decorative round plate “Green Energy”. This chapter covers work with another type of chevrons – radial chevrons.\n\nThree other projects let you understand how to combine various striped triangles in an intricate pattern\n3. A decorative square plate “Joyful Way”. In this chapter you will learn how striped squares and corners could be combined in a colorful \"ladder\".\n4. A wall panel “Oriental Rug”. This is a great instruction for making a glass rug with intricate design.\n5. A hexagonal plate “Fireworks”. It is the most labor-intensive project.

Those, who already purchased the first book will find not only descriptions of new techniques, but also some useful enhancements of the 3D Chevrons technique.\n\n\nThere are 2 groups of projects: those which could be done using leftovers of 3D Chevrons projects, and those which use a different technique. I provided additional guidance for the first group for those, who have no leftovers, but want to make them.\n1. A decorative plate “Time Wells”. In this project you create a strong optical illusion to make an impression of 3D objects placed on a flat surface\n2. Wall Clock “Night City”. In this project you use color gradients to \"uncover\" hidden objects.\n3. A decorative plate “Broken Illusions”. A relatively simple, but attractive project: the plate composed of multiple squares which use different colors for creating an illusion of broken objects\n4. Wall clock “Rainbow time”. This is the most simple project in the book, but the resultant clock looks very attractive.\n\n\nIn addition to these projects there are 2 other which use stringers, but not connected to the Chevrons technique. These are:\n5. A decorative plate “Stairway to Heaven”. And this project is also about illusion. By arranging stringers in a special way you create an illusion of 3D hex stairs.\n6. A decorative plate “Summer Waltz”. A variation of the well-known project.
