$14.95
Treasury of Floral Designs and Initials for Artists and Craftspeople features over 700 detailed floral-themed designs drawn from rare 19th-century Spanish embroidery pattern books. The collection includes initials, monograms, names, borders, and decorative motifs featuring flowers, vines, and leaves.
Originally created for embroidery, these copyright-free designs can also be used for fabric painting, woodburning, tole work, calligraphy, and graphic design. Many of the designs can be used as-is, while others offer decorative elements that can be adapted for a wide range of creative projects.
“The designs in this book were selected from a pair of rare mid-nineteenth-century Spanish volumes of hand-drawn embroidery patterns. Little is known of their origin, but from the number and variety of the designs, and the fact that many of them were marked with what appear to be price and style notations, it seems likely that these volumes were part of such a catalog. Whatever their history, the grace and beauty of the designs is undeniable, and their appeal is as strong today as it was more than a century ago.” — Mary Carolyn Waldrep, Publisher’s Note.
