PATRICIA CARTER

This compendium, the best work from Patricia Carter''s three previous books on illumination, has been brought together to show exquisite designs in watercolour and gouache to enhance calligraphy, texts and a host of other decorative items. History and the world of nature are Patricia''s main sources of inspiration.

This book is a great source of inspiration for calligraphers, artists, embroiderers and china painters. Techniques and guidelines are given for gilding, together with over sixty design ideas for borders with flowers, ribbons and ropework.
