Three excellent titles provide solid craft ideas for any seeking new projects. Vicki Payne's Traditional Leaded Glass Crafting (140270335X, $26.95) pairs techniques with project applications, packing in color photos to demonstrate such techniques as soldering panels, producing art deco effects, and cutting glass. An excellent introduction beginners will appreciate. Diana Light's Batik (1579904947, $14.95) tells how to learn batik by producing simple projects, from pillows to curtains. Over twenty such projects receive embellishment through color photos explaining how to create patterns and use dyebaths for maximum results. Ruth Lee's Creative Machine Knitting (1861083114, $14.95) presents a range of designs for all occasions, including the latest fashions and updates to classic designs. Especially valuable in Creative Machine Knitting is the attention to adapting patterns to suit different needs, and following knitting through clear diagrams rather than just the written word filled with code.
