Neets said Disappointing. I was really disappointed by this book. It was more like a children's colouring book than anything else. The drawings were quite average and useless.. Stephen R. Smith said Good addition. Needleworkers and folk art painters would both enjoy this addition to their library. It is not a flashy or gorgeous book but it is a very useful source of ideas.. Anna said Russian motifs. great little book. I use it for inspiration when I paint ceramics. all photos are in black and white though but it does the job.
