5.0 out of 5 stars Art Deco Cut & Use Stencils, March 28, 2000

By	Carol Goldsmith (Chicago IL USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great source book for Art Deco designs. It contains 51 stencil motifs to use directly or to modify if you wish. It suggests some color combinations on the book's jacket for some Art Deco inspiration. The stencils are printed on heavy grade stencil paper. However, the stencils themselves are in black and white to enable you to cut them out easily.

The author gives concise instructions for the use and maintenance of the stencils.

I have searched high and low for Art Deco designs and this book finally delivered the designs I needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are great for stencil borders, April 20, 2001

By	"heathertons" (Los Angeles, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

For anyone who hasn't used "Art Deco" stencils. This book will have many styles for you to see, and chose. The cover will give you an idea of what kind of stencils they mostly have. The sizes are from 8" (in) to 2" (In.) These are copyright free. But they have other info. on what you can, can't do.

If you where looking for more "flowers" I would try "Art Nouveau Cut & Use Stencils" those are great stecils too, that are also copyright free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the designs, but not ready to use, September 24, 2008

By	Terri Ackerman "Editor In Cognito" (Bowling Green, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The designs are fabulous, but extra steps are needed to make actual stencils. These are merely great designs on paper.
