Back Cover:

There is nothing worse than sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper, your mind either as empty as the paper, or full of imagery but frustrated that you will never be able to transfer any of those thoughts into reality. The patterns within this book will hopefully give you the resolve and inspirational foundation to embark or transfer those ideas on to your chosen project.

Celtic Designs includes a beautifully illustrated photocopiable collection of decorative Celtic designs and motifs - zoomorphic, spiral, knotwork and key patterns. These classic illustrations will inspire craftspeople, artists, needleworkers and all those interested in creating their own original ideas and projects.

 

About the Designs

Many of the patterns within this book are based on Hiberno-Saxon designs created in Britain and Ireland from the 6th to the 12th century. They can be found carved in stone and on fine decorative church metalwork, elaborate jewelry and the highly illuminated pages of the Gospel books. Patterns such as the spiral and knotwork were not the invention of Celtic artisans, but were some of the first symbols used by humans to express their spirituality and the wonder of the world around them. It is the skill and imagination of Celtic and Saxon artists who took these patterns and adapted them, creating intricate and complex designs that still inspire us today - in works such as the Books of Kells and Lindislarne and the Cross of Cong.

Fair Use Warning

Design Source Books are a beautiful series of themed pattern books for virtually any craft. The designs can be used as stencil or embroidery patterns, stationery designs, furniture decoration, glass painting guides or whatever your imagination chooses. The designs can be photocopied, traced, colored, adapted or used as inspiration for originating your own designs. They will stand up well to reproduction at any scale.

These are photocopiable pattern books from Search Press, Ltd. The designs in each book are the property of Search Press, Ltd. Readers are permitted to reproduce up to 15 of the individual designs for any single graphic or craft project without the prior permission of the publishers. Wherever possible readers should acknowledge the title, author and publisher.
