Summary: Exquisite and Unusual Designs
Comment: I have always wished I could make a cross stitch project that looked like a Tiffany or Art Nouveau. This book provides some of the most beautiful and artistic patterns I have found. I'm sure I will find a lifetime of inspiration from the patterns provided in this book as well as enjoying the interesting reading.

Summary: a great addition to any stitcher's collection
Comment: I love to cross-stitch, yet I have trouble finding patterns that interest me. This book is such a wonderful find. It has a wide variety of patterns (the Klimt doesn't look anything like the Tiffanys on the cover) which are challenging enough for a stitcher who likes a more intricate pattern (like myself.) The patterns in this book are some of the best I've ever seen as far as artistry goes. The small motifs and decorative borders included at the back of the book encourage us to use our own creativity. I can't wait to make more of the projects in this book - right now I'm working on a pillow with one of the decorative borders.

Summary: a nice cross stitch book
Comment: I ordered this book because I love stained glass designs and there were two pictured on the cover. I had been hoping for more of them inside but was disappointed to find that there weren't any others.

However, it is a nice book with background on art nouveau and designs inspired by artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Also included are instructions for basic cross stitch, cleaning your work, stretching needlework, and turning your piece into a cushion.

If you have a preference for either color or b&w charts, you should be aware that the charts in this book are in color with symbols.
