Thanks John, I do Lloyd's use of Art Deco and triangles in his designs, Mackintosh also did the same, but a little earlier, I like his work as he spanned the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods so influentially. There is a very nice programme running on UK satellite TV at the moment showing a very famous Mackintosh interior being refurbished at a house in Northampton (where I teach). The house originally belonged to a well known (in railway modelling circles) manufacturer called W Bassett Lowke. Makintosh designed the interior C1917 and one of the famous objects is a huge screen using stained glass with a triangular theme. The theme was repeated in the leaded stained glass in the door. A description of the programme can be seen at: http://www.homeandleisure.co.uk/bigbuild/features/mackintosh/index.html I don't know if it will ever get to the State but you deserve it as payback 'cos we get Norm Abrams (New Yankee Workshop)
I am also glad that you mentioned the Navajo, that is one theme I will certainly research.
