4.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for Mehendi, March 31, 2001

Margaret A. Dubil "maggiethediva" (Collegeville, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: 250 Stencil Designs from India (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)

I am fairly new to this stuff, I started doing henna tattoos on my feet and hands last summer. This is hard stuff! This book was full of great designs. It is not a book of stencils, please dont buy it if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking for ideas, and designs- this is a top knotch book for you!

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty clip art, but no stencils, November 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 250 Stencil Designs from India (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)

I got thrown off by the use of the word stencil in the book title. This isn't a book of stencils, it's a book of clip art. :(

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 250 Stencil Designs from India (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)

If you are expecting to receive actual stencils, you will be disappointed (as was I!). These are only printed pages (and printed on both sides, what's more). You will have a ton of work if you want to try and transfer these designs to anything, especially since most of them are so intricate and detailed. Let me know if you find the REAL stencils!

A great example as to why you should always read other's reviews. I failed to do so this time, and it seems I am in the same boat with a lot of others, disappointed. Read more

I should have read the reviews BEFORE I bought the book. These are NOT stencils, and they are not transferable to the skin. But they are beautiful. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars the title is "stencil designs"
this book has nice Indian inspired stencil designs. These are designs meant to use for making stencils, as the title indicates.

3.0 out of 5 stars It isn't a stencil book
Actually this book is not a stencil book but it's very inspiring if you're intrested in Indian motifs.I used some of the designs in my authentic graphics.
