Persian Designs (Design Source Book)

I too got this book for the possibility of creating a needlework project. While some of the designs don't do anything for me--thus the 4 stars--a couple of them really speak to me. I also want to do more goldwork and I can see using one of the simpler designs here to make a really gorgeous one. Well worth the price.

The designs were large and lacked intricacy - not what I expected.

The designs are great for goldwork which uses large simple shapes. Most of the designs can be even further simplified with lines removed and also enlarged in some cases. Could also work for other embroidery types.

Really good set of designs
