Synopsis

Celtic Motifs introduces the reader to the world of Celtic symbols that have fascinated and mystified us for hundreds of years. Included are mandalas, interlacing symbols, trees of life and peacock feathers. Artists will love the illustrations, and can use the patterns included in the back of the book to create their own Celtic art in whatever medium they choose.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This beautifully presented softback book of 103 pages, originally published in France, has now been translated by Ian West, in association with First Edition Translations Limited, for publication in England. This is not a lace book, but for those who wish to create their own designs in whatever medium they choose. Colourful illustrations and clear diagrams contribute to the authors aim of opening a door into the world of the symbols and pattern that constitue Celtic art. Five chapters; Spirals, Knots, Flora & Fauna, Mazes and A Celtic Alphabet, explain the various motifs, and show how experimenting with colour and form can alter their appearance. Diagrams explain their construction, from drawing three equidistant circles within a larger circle, to simple spirals. All useful for the novice (and perhaps the more experienced?) designer. Inspiration and new ideas, particularly for Milanese lace, tape lace, and contemporary designs, will be found here. A useful book and one which I will add to my library. --Hilary Cordwell, Lace 129
