Customer Reviews

Good source for inspiration.

If you are an artist looking for inspiration for your own drawings or craft projects, this book is a nice choice. The illustrations are plentiful, very clear and easy to follow. Some are just black and white line drawings, others are in full color and give you plenty of ideas on how to color your own knotwork designs. Borders, spirals, celtic crosses and decorative initials are all presented, along with a number of Davis' full-page illustrations which illustrate nicely how to work celtic patterns into your own artistic designs. Some basic historical information, myths and legends are included as well, but not in great detail--this book is mostly for the artwork and patterns only.
