About the Designs
Decorative borders have been an integral part of the art and craft
world for over 2,000 years. Stone, metal, pottery, fabrics and classic
artworks have all been enhanced with borders. Each period in history
has developed its own style, from the interlaced knotwork of the
Celts and the wonderfully graphic motifs of the Ancient Greeks and
Romans through to the intricate foliage borders of Medieval times
and the flowing lines of the Art Nouveau period. Within these pages
I have assembled a collection of classic border patterns, which
designers, craft workers and artists can use to capture the essence
of a period in time. These styles are as popular today as they have
ever been and they can all be used to enhance your artwork.
