1 comments about Beadwork (Shire Library).

1. i have several of the booklets in the shire series, and all are fascinating. most of the titles i have are entirely or primarily concerned with british history.
   
   these are not heavy tomes. i think the best description is 'overview.' still, the various authors manage to included a remarkable amount of information in each volume.
   
   the information in this volume was interesting to me, even though i own many larger beading books that include history. there are many photos in this booklet, but, disappointingly, most are black and white--but they are still informative and useful for designing.
   
   i would recommend this book to beginning or advanced beaders, and to those interested in british craft and social history. this and the other titles are worth seeking out.

1 comments about The Art of Glass: The Toledo Museum of Art.

1. The Toledo Museum of Art was founded in 1901 by Edward Drummond Libbey shortly after he moved his thriving glassmaking business to the Ohio city from Boston. Along with the Old Master paintings, Egyptian antiquities, and other types of more or less conventional art and relics sought by most museums in this period, the Toledo Museum also concertedly engaged in collecting many pieces of art in glass in accordance with Libbey's interests and wishes. About two years ago, a Glass Pavilion for the storage and exhibition of the sizable and growing glass collection was added to the original Museum. As the numerous skillful color photographs demonstrate, the Museum's Pavilion has many choice, exquisite pieces from all eras and places around the world ranging from the utilitarian to the sheerly aesthetic. This art book tied in with the opening of the new Pavilion arranges much of the collection chronologically from the ancient Mediterannean cultures through the Renaissance and Baroque to the early 20th century with the insertion of one chapter on glass in the Islamic world. A last chapter displays art glass works by artists of the past few decades. Many readers will be struck by how some of the artists, especially from more modern and contemporary times, use glass as a medium for sculpture with dramatic shapes and colors.

1. Bill Edwards writes great books on glass. Each page has at least three beautiful pictures with a paragraph written on each item including the dates of production. The back contains a price guide. Now all I need is an updated price list!
