By paulina castro (santiago,Chile) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Traditional Floral Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book can be a very helpful one if you're looking for simple designs.It is a sample of flower motifs mostly english and french from the 19th century and some oriental motifs as well.It is all black and white patterns and it looks a lot like a coloring book.It is an OK book if you're starting with the idea but very simple if you want to go indepth.I would recommend it if you're interested in crafts in general and also if you work with kids.

This review is from: Traditional Floral Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Very useful for my simple goldwork embroidery designs. Some need enlargement and others need to remove some of the lines not needed for goldwork. Could also work with crewel embroidery although I haven't done that yet.

Beautifully drawn floral designs with a creative flare, is great for use in "Zentangle" drawings. Will use these designs in many craft projects.
