5.0 out of 5 stars
There is more to paisleys then I thought!,
By
This review is from: Paisleys and Other Textile Designs from India (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I am so glad I got this book and I am sure I will use it often. I think it will be very inspirational in things that I want to make with an "all over" pattern or for use in making borders. From looking at the paisleys in the book I can see where paisleys come from and I never really thought of that before.The paisleys may seem the same to some people but I do like seeing so many different ways to do the same thing. I have been happy with most of the Dover books that I have...I think they do a good job!

Good selection - very similar,
By Vasuki Narayan (Pleasanton, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paisleys and Other Textile Designs from India (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
The paisley patterns are well chosen, but I was hoping to see some other interesting textile patterns as well - most of the other patterns included were very boring and not as representative of the broad spectrum of textile patterns found in Indian fabrics...
