Nice designs

This book has great designs, many are difficult though but they inspire me for my ceramic designs. Nice book with a great variety of designs.

Good, well-documented resource

This is a good resource. The sources of the designs are generally given (or at the very least, there's an indication of when/where the design came from).

nice collection

This is an interesting collection but I don't find it too useful for goldwork embroidery. Some of the designs would work if enlarged and simplified.

Nice collection

As a person involved in art and design, I found this book to be helpful. I love the intricate designs and the explanation at the beginning of the book. I have recently implemented them in my artwork and designs. I think any artist or craftsperson would find this a helpful tool.

An excellant source for Arabic designs!

Ms. Wilson presents various elements of Arabic designs drawn mostly in black and white. She includes instruction for reproducing the designs and commentary on time periods and original colors used. The only thing that would have made this book better would have been pictures of the artifacts she refers to in her extensive documentation. A must have for anyone doing Islamic or Arabic arts!
