It might have been useful to mention some things about styli or digital pens — like, the pen that comes with the tab may not suit everyone so there is the option of buying one separately…. Hi, David! Thanks so much for sharing with us! My 12 yr old daughter is really keen to get started with digital art, specifically comic creation. Reading your piece it sounds like the Wacom Intuos hooked up to a laptop is the way to go, does the laptop need to be any certain spec before I go ahead and purchase the tablet?

Wacom is a definite ideal tablet but they may be outside of what you want to pay. Concise and easy to read it mainly covers the most widely used cold process of gold and painted decoration on glass. Frances wastes no time in pointing out and clearing up the true meaning of the term verre eglomise, now commonly used as a general title for any type of decoration applied to glass, but let's not give too much away. This is all covered, including both cold and hot methods, in the opening paragraphs and under the Terminology section.
There are many old books from medieval manuscripts to un-translated documentation, so this book is very welcomed. There has been a long gap in the market for gilded glass, but now the art of glass decoration is enjoying such a revival, and with so many new and varied designs, this couldn't really be better timed. The book moves from techniques ancient to modern day to origins and the development of glass decoration throughout the world.
Fabulous examples of historic and important pieces are illustrated, each with a brief description of techniques and materials used. Some of these examples show a real diversity in design and methods used. The step by step approach for the entire gilding process is also explained and shown in great detail, covering initial design process for geometric and free hand patterns, the process of laying the leaf, engraving and colouring.
Even for the professional there is nothing comparable to this book. It is up to date, an excellent concise reference manual with a wealth of useful information, in essence it is a book that can teach even the most experienced restorer or gilder something new.

Book Review 3: I started reading your book and I think that it is great - it contains amazing amounts of information and yet it doesn't beat about the bush.
Book Review 4: Have now read four times, ever more slowly and with increasing understanding of the variables. Your experience and comments about what can be laid on top of what have in particular been very handy indeed for working out some potential snags I do so agree about repeating basic instructions in each separate context - from the reader's point of view, this is a blessing.
Not to have to dash back and forth to re-establish an idea from a previous chapter, keeping a thumb in the page, is genuinely sensible I have put pencil marks all over the pages to remind me of small important details in the text. For me, that is clear proof that this is a book Book Review 5: It's a work of gilded art!
