While there are some interesting design ideas and patterns, I found the book very amateurish. Most of the projects that the author illustrates how to make, using glass, are poorly put together and look rushed and haphazard. The grouting is messy and left on several glass tiles. The best examples are in the back of the book and are done by professional artists. However, there is no instruction. I would only buy this book as a last resort for inspiration. Definitely not recommeded for a beginner despite the easy projects.
Unlike the other reviews, I have no experience in this, but I think the author made it look like fun. The paper is nicely coated and shiny, the better to show off the brilliant colors. I liked the naive, country-type patterns in some projects, while other projects were more formal, like the tables. I think this is a good first book!
