THE GARTEN PRESS, PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE exhaustion of
a further edition of Pattern Design and the steady demand for the
work are an indication of its continuing practical value as a
textbook, but it seemed advisable that it should be thoroughly
revised and brought up to date and it was decided to entrust the
work to Mr Amor Fenn, who, as a personal friend of Lewis F. Day,
was conversant with his work and in sympathy with his aims and
methods. Consequently, the book forthe first time since its
appearance has received a thorough overhaul the order of the
chapters has been rearranged, and that on Borders a subject Mr Fenn
has made particularly his own has been transformed and
re-illustrated. A number of illustrations have been redrawn or
replaced, and others added, including two coloured plates, while
the Editor has contributed a chapter summarising the course of the
design of pattern during the past eighty years down to the present
day, illustrated by the representative work of well-known English
and Continental designers. It is the hope and desire of every one
connected with the book that it may maintain its position as a
standard work, and continue or enhance its usefulness to students
and others connected with design and pattern, the importance of
which in everyday life is being increasingly realised. It is with
deep grief and regret that we have to record that Mr Amor Fenn was
suddenly taken from us while this book was passing through the
press, and consequently did not survive to see the finished result
of his work. THE PUBLISHERS. September 1933- NOTE OF

Wax carving is like sculpture for jewellery and allows enormous
creativity, as so many different forms can be made. This practical
guide introduces the techniques to this age-old method through a
series of guided exercises and projects, and demonstrates how
exciting it can be. Drawing on the experience of two master
wax-carvers, it also gives invaluable advice on the finish of your
cast pieces and how to reproduce them. With over 400 colour photos,
it give advice on setting up for wax carving, tools, tool-making
and materials. There are exercises that introduce the beginner to
using wax and then build ideas and confidence to try more complex
designs. Included are advanced techniques that show how to use
stones in a carving and how to add texture and surface detail.
Finally, finished examples demonstrate the potential, excitement
and versality of the method.
The original edition of "Windows For The Soul" was published in
2000. Since that date, Bovard Studio of Fairfield, Iowa has
completed so many new commissions that the book cried out for a
complete overhaul. This revised edition continues to feature
ecclesiastic stained glass and remains a valuable resource with
inside information on church window commissions. Ron Bovard, has
updated most chapters, added several new stories and increased the
number of images from 350 to over 480 colour photographs and window
designs. The author shares his masterful vision and discerning
wisdom gleaned from thousands of commissions and restoration
projects. The extensive text is a delightful read and describes
some of Mr Bovards more memorable undertakings. In addition, the
reader will gain some insight into the creative process, as well as
an overview of project work flow including, custom painting,
staining, fabrication, bracing, and protective glazing. One notable
chapter tracks a complete restoration of an original Tiffany window
from its careful removal to final reinstallation.
