Sourcebook is a treasure trove
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
When I stumbled upon this book I felt like I had found buried treasure. This unique work is full of inspiring design motifs and patterns from all over the world. Broad in scope, it presents ideas from works of art from pre-history through the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mexico and Byzantium. It also demonstrates how one can draw on on and interpret the traditional art of diverse cultures in Africa, Australia, Japan, China and elsewhere.Although this book is geared to embroidery projects, it is extremely useful for other media, such as mosaic, quilting and fabric construction. Every time I browse through this book I get another idea for a new work of art or craft. Highly recommended. My only regret is getting to the last page. I wish it were longer.
