Nice, but large Indian Designs
The book contains 60 large stencil designs on regular paper (not cut out!) of various subjects. There are floral borders, tree of life and other botanicals, as well as elephants, cows, horses, and some people playing traditonal Indian instruments.

Not what I was looking for
I enjoyed the variety of ideas that this publication provides. But since it is stenciled art and not actual stencils, it is difficult to use. My plan is to scan the art, flip the black to white and the white to black to create my stencils. If you're not planning on doing something similar and having fun with an X-acto knife, I'd skip purchasing this book.

The book contains 60 large stencil designs on regular paper (not cut out!) of various subjects. There are floral borders, tree of life and other botanicals, as well as elephants, cows, horses, and some people playing traditonal Indian instruments.According to the back cover, the authors travelled extensively in India to collect the designs, copying stencils used by village artisans and Hindu priests. The designs have traditionally been used to decorate the floors of temples, etc, so this is probably why they are so large in scale (usually one design per 8x10 page). I still found it a worthwhile collection from which to pull Indian designs.
