Part of the problem is that decorative painters have trouble seeing that borders, just like any other design element such as a rose or a leaf, are "built" one brushstroke at a time in a repeating pattern. Also included are guidelines for blowing up patterns to the proportions needed for any size job, from decorative boxes to entire rooms!. This combination of "how-to" and "swipe file" content make The Big Book of Decorative Borders a must-have reference for decorative painters, crafters, do-it-yourselfers and interior decorators. Readers will find more than 500 different border designs made out of dozens of different elements, including flowers, leaves, vines, scrolls, shells, lace, ribbons, bows, children's themes and more. It also provides hundreds of ideas that can be copied directly from the pages. This one-of-a-kind book shows readers how to create an amazing variety of borders and embellishments using the simplest of strokes-comma strokes, C-strokes and S-strokes. To date, no single book has shown decorative artists how to design and paint beautiful decorative borders and ornamentation
Will said Five Stars. Great book. rose thyme said Every Border Desired. If the border you want is not in this book, it probably does not exist. This book is great for painters, embroiderers, stamp carvers, anything that needs a repeating design. Goes on the craft reference shelf.. Collector Girl said Love the book. I just started a painting class and my teacher lent me her copy of this book. Its a great way for me to get a feel for drawing in an easy format (using graph paper and making repetitive patterns) Its a lot of fun, I'm happy with the results of my practicing, so I bought my own copy of the book!
