FOR MANY YEARS, the original version of Basic Stained Glass Making has been a great resource for all of us at Rainbow Vision Stained Glass. It was a pleasant surprise when I was asked to revise the book and update the projects. Many thanks to Mark Allison and Judith Schnell of Stackpole Books for the opportunity to work on this with them.
My deepest appreciation to my daughter, Katie. She has worked side-by-side with me through every step in creating the revised book, and she has designed each of the new projects presented. Without her keen artistic ability and organizational skills, the revised book would not have as polished an appearance.
A very special thank you to Alan Wycheck of Alan Wycheck Photography in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His eye for capturing an image from just the right angle, with exactly the right lighting, is exceptional. I appreciate his dedication and expertise while collaborating on this project with us.
The staff at Rainbow Vision has been great while I have been working toward completion of this book. Lee Summers, Jan McKelvey, Lou Ann Benedict, Melissa Flood, and, again, Katie Haunstein have all been very helpful and supportive. They have been wonderful with hands-on assistance and as advisors whenever I needed their help. They are the best!
And last, but never least, my gratefulness to my husband Jim and my family and friends. Your complete support throughout the revision process was wonderful. Thank you.
