Figures, birds, flowers, stylized motifs, borders, and symbolic patterns abound in this inspirational sourcebook containing more than 300 specially commissioned black-and-white line illustrations for use in projects and artwork. Inspired by the artistic periods borne of the ancient dynasties, each project is an interpretation of the best of Oriental style--drawing inspiration from the celebrated art, architecture, textiles, and ceramics throughout the region's long history. A gallery of finished pieces introduces papercrafters to the possibilities awaiting further study, as well as suggested applications of each design--on book covers, in cards, as an embroidery, and much more.
