DESCRIPTION:
"Good selection - very similar" according to VJN. The paisley patterns are well chosen, but I was hoping to see some other interesting textile patterns as well - most of the other patterns included were very boring and not as representative of the broad spectrum of textile patterns found in Indian fabrics. Walking_on_Sunshine said Pretty designs. I really loved this book and found a wealth of designs and information. I highly recommend this book for the designs.. I didnt know all the pages were black and white I didnt know all the pages were black and white, and also expected some kind of explanation of each one.
