Glass Painters and Silk Painters Pattern Book

undefined

Review ------ Issue 61, Summer 05 A book full of illustrations - just 250 pictures to copy and trace. There is no text, so no help with enlarging or diminishing the pictures, but of course, nowadays, a computer printer would do the job. The pictures range from Art Nouveau and Art Deco to flowers, border patterns, Celtic motifs, heads and faces, butterflies, birds and animals - ending with two alphabets....the book is a fund of ideas for these crafts - and I thought it good value for money. * WCE * Issue 49, Spring 2007 [This] is a good collection of two hundred and fifty designs including motifs, borders, patterns and letters etc. in a variety of styles, which can be used and adapted as you wish to create your own masterpieces, specially selected from The Design Source Book series. A good buy if yu do not want to invest in the whole series. * GUILD OF SILK PAINTERS * Feb 05 Another bumper bundle of decorative designs.

As an endless resource it offers a striking selection of traditional, classic and contemporary ideas, like figures, frames and more, which can be outlined, coloured and embellished as you see fit. * Papercraft Inspirations * March 05 Another pattern book from Search Press. This one is composed mainly of flowers, trees, birds, animals, figures and initial letters. They are large, clear motifs which could be suitable for digitizing, silk paints etc. Some of the more abstract motifs are interesting but rather an excess of figures. * Workshop On The Web * Synopsis -------- A wonderful selection of designs from history, nature and the world of make believe.
