A GOOD BEGINNER HOW TO BOOK

A great book to get you started in painting your own hex signs. Easy to use while practicing the designs. The only thing that I think this book needs is some more design examples, there aren't really that many, I thought there would be more. Overall, this book is great for the beginner.

Wonderful resource book!

I've been having great fun with this book! It is a very practical way to get started if you want to paint hex signs. It opens and lays flat when you are practicing the painting strokes and there are many wonderful examples of designs that can be applied to these circular works of art. I am so pleased with this book!
