This review is from: Ready-to-Use North American Indian Motifs: 391 Different Permission-Free Designs Printed One Side (Dover Clip Art Ready-to-Use) (Paperback)

I have just started to do gourd pyrography and wanted a source of authentic Indian designs to use as paterns. This book contains 391 designs which are outstanding. Most designs also includes the name of the Indian nation which used and/or originated the design. The designs are also "permission-free" which means I don't have to worry about copyright violations if I sell my gourds. An excellent book.

This book is chocked full of Native American motifs and designs from many nations! Each graphic is titled by tribe, even branches of Tribes (eg: Dakota Sioux) and the book is broken down into sections of geographic areas, eg: Pacific Northwest, Great Plains, Southwest, etc. Very well put together, this was an excellent resource and the best N.A. Tribal design book I've found!

This review is from: Ready-to-Use North American Indian Motifs: 391 Different Permission-Free Designs Printed One Side (Dover Clip Art Ready-to-Use) (Paperback)

I purchased this one some time ago and do not have one regret. I have it in almost constant use. The graphics are wonderful, easy to use and well identified as to tribal origins. I use this publications and it's designs primarily for my gourd art, i.e. carving and burning and drawing. The designs are printed on one side and I have found that by making a copy of the page I can then enlarge or reduce the designed I need. There are approximately 391 different designs here and I have check several of them out and not found one that was not authentic. The designs cover quite a bit of area, from the Pacific Northwest and Artic to Estern Woodland to the Great Pland and Rockies to the Southwest and Mexico. Each design is quite crisp and quite accurate. Cannot recommend this one highly enough.
