3.0 out of 5 stars
A lovely and colorful Celtic art resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Celtic Art Source Book (Paperback)
This is basically a "picture book" of examples of Celtic-style knotwork and images, each rendered in luscious four-color plates. I find it most useful as a companion to the various Dover Publishing Celtic art books (including stencils, needlework, drawing guides, etc) as a visual reference on "how" to color in the black-and-white examples found in those works. Otherwise, it's a beautiful book on its own!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good source for inspiration.,

This review is from: The Celtic Art Source Book (Paperback)
If you are an artist looking for inspiration for your own drawings or craft projects, this book is a nice choice. The illustrations are plentiful, very clear and easy to follow. Some are just black and white line drawings, others are in full color and give you plenty of ideas on how to color your own knotwork designs. Borders, spirals, celtic crosses and decorative initials are all presented, along with a number of Davis' full-page illustrations which illustrate nicely how to work celtic patterns into your own artistic designs. Some basic historical information, myths and legends are included as well, but not in great detail--this book is mostly for the artwork and patterns only.
