3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting eye-candy,

This review is from: Carpet and Textile Patterns (Hardcover)
This is an overview book, with a long paragraph about each "design element," which is then followed by several pages of how that element has been interpreted in (mostly) woven textiles across a number of cultures, (mostly) in rugs.I fell for the Alexander Calder Star, the Imperial Dragon Robe, and the Regency Savonnerie carpet medallion. Don't know that any of these elements will actually appear in my own work, but that's the gamble with eye candy books. This volume covers a lot of geographic and cultural ground for a small amount of money. It's not life-changing. It's not a definitive reference on any one culture or element. Worth the shelf-space in the "inspiration and ideas" shelves. |
