Line drawings for craftsman or excellent for tattoo flash,
By Gunnvor (McDade, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treasury of Viking Design (Paperback)
This 64-page book contains black and white line-drawings of motifs and designs from Viking art and artifacts. Many are enlarged versions of designs found in Wilson and Klint-Jensen's Viking Art (Wilson, David M. and Ole Klindt-Jensen. Viking Art. 2nd ed. London: George Allen & Unwin. 1980.), plus motifs usually shown only in artifact photos elsewhere. The major weakness of this book is the lack of any text identifying or discussing the various images presented - it's purely a collection of designs, ranging in period from the earliest part of the Viking Age through the start of the more medieval Romanesque style art of the Scandinavian Middle Ages. Contains a lot of knotwork and "gripping beast" type motifs.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Treasury of Viking Design (Paperback)
Has nice pictures to look at and I am thinking some would be fun to trace and embroider. Great for ideas.
