Great Resource for Creating Original Pieces

This book is fantastic particularly for beginning designers. The variety of motifs from around the world are unique and fun. Once you have mastered the simple motifs, you are free to interpret these desings with more sophisticated color patterns, backstitching, beading or more. Are these simple motifs....yes. Can you combine them to created more mature themes? In some cases, yes. There are themed motifs, unique animals from around the world, transportation, occupational, international themes, florals, borders etc. I think this would be an excellent investment. At the current prices, who can complain? In addition, if you have the opportunity to introduce someone to cross stitch, this would be a welcome teaching aide.
