CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
creative glass techniques -
vendor shipped on time and item was as stated, good vendor will buy again.
As far as the book, was somewhat disappointed that many of the projects required you to purchase glass items (campaign glasses, vases) that are already made and you just slump and paint. As an experienced glass artist, I wanted to know how she made the items she just decorated. The cover piece,requires that you first purchase the glass vase, good luck in finding the piece. I would put this under "crafts". There are several kiln projects however, if you haven't ever bought a book on fusing.The few pages devoted to lampwork will not get you there.

Creative Glass Techniques: Fusing, Painting, Lampwork -
This is one of the best glass fusing books I've purchased. The projects are very beautiful and easy to create. I give it 5 stars.
Inspiring and delightful -
I have to admit that, despite a few flaws, this remains one of my favorite books on making your own glass. Ms. Eberle has written a book that gets my creative juices flowing every time I read it. Her approach to creating functional/decorative glass is (or was at the time) unique, and I especially appreciate her use of mass-produced glassware to create some really beautiful things. It's well-illustrated.
That said, there are some frustrating aspects to this book. She doesn't really explain where to find some of the materials she uses, such as her "paints" and "crystal ice." While I can guess at their identity I can't be quite sure. I've also tried to locate the author (and in fact have sent several e-mails to what I *think* is the correct address) with no luck. She does describe the mechanics of full-fuse firing, but you'll need a pretty good understanding of firing schedules to fill in the blanks.
Even with the frustrations, though, this book is well worth the purchase price. I would love to see more from this author!
Great fusing book -
I have been fusing for 3 years now. I started with this book and still look back and get good ideas. You evolve and still can get something on a different level. Buy it.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
