Flowers will never go out of fashion as a popular subject for design, and here is a whole sourcebook of them. Nearly a hundred pages containing eighty black and white drawings can be found in here, as well as a CD of all of them for use with the graphics program of your choice.

There are also several pages showing large photographs of a variety of different projects made using the designs to inspire you. Glass painting, polymer clay, embossing on metal, silk painting, mosaic, and more have been used to decorate boxes, cushions, wall hangings and greeting cards. There are no instructions in here, but that is the point. Think of a book like this as the next stage from the step-by-step projects in other books—something for the intermediate crafter—before going on to designing your own projects from scratch.

There are designs of all sizes, ranging from a whole page to a couple of inches. Borders, corners, and repeated background designs, as well as single motifs are included. Spring and summer flowers predominate, and if you are hoping for anything for Christmas projects you will have to look elsewhere, but there is a good selection of different blooms. Many of the drawings have been executed in the Art Nouveau style, so being a fan of this art movement will help in your appreciation. The CD is easy to use, requiring no installing (so no extra memory needed) and the .jpg format can be used in just about any graphics program. This is a useful book for any crafter.
