Traditional Floral Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive)

A very nice book and everything it says it is. However, all of the designs in the book are of the type shown on the cover. I assume they have been taken from one large antique source, like a book or manual. If you don't like the style of the designs on the cover, then don't buy this. The designs are predominantly floral and all are of the style shown on the front. Also note that they are not in color.

I've taken up embroidering table runners and this book of patterns is just what I need to help me plan and execute a design. The book arrived in great condition and within a week of my placing the order. Thank you.

This book has a variety of simplified, traditional floral designs influenced from various cultures, and they are presented in black and white line. I use these as a starting point for making up my own designs. This was exactly what I was hoping for. The size is nice and large, and there is plenty of variety. I highyl recommend this book for artists, designers, and craftspeople looking for some floral ideas.

I find this book full of beautiful patterns for my art and crafts.I haven't used it as much as I'd like with all my art books, butwill definitely put it on top of the stack.

Given as a gift to someone who loves embroidery and she asked for this book because she thought the patterns were the most compatible with needlework.

今まで色々な線画のパターン本を購入していますが、こちらは秀逸です。繊細な花のパターンは見ているだけで楽しいです。刺繍はもちろんペインティング、テキスタイルなど応用の利くデザインの宝庫ですね。またモノクロ一色というシンプルさがたまりません。優しい感じのものがほとんどなので、大胆な物を探している方にはちょっと細かすぎるかも、、こんなに美しいラインのものは初めて見ました。パターンの数も多く、作られた年号や国も載っているので楽しく、大満足の一冊です。

生徒を教えるのに、花のデッサンの教本を探した。花をデザイン化している。４つ星の本。トレジャリーの副読本といった位置、わたしには。カバーをみてもらえば想像できる、全頁カバー通りのイラストが埋まっている。
