This book offers a wide variety of embroidery designs in both crewel and needlepoint techniques, which can be used as ll-over patterns, borders, and decorative spots on such things as lampshades, cushions, curtains, table linens, shirts, smocks, skirts, aprons, bags and so on. These designs have been adapted from aztec, mayan and Inca pottery, baskets, and textiles. some are abstract, others show strange birds, animals, serpents, and fish. They are exotic, exciting and even grotesque and should be worked in bold colors. anyone looking for motifs in a different idiom will find a wealth of ideas in this book!
