Book Reviews of Wildlife Designs: Original Patterns for Your Favorite Craft
Book Review: Beautiful Patterns! ...Great Money Value!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as a follow up to Sue Walters Pyrography Workbook...a book I can't advocate enough. I was not disappointed. The book is once again an attractive volume, nicely laid out with a generous amount of both photos and text...perhaps a bit of a rarity in a pattern book. So many merely have the picture patterns and little else. But, as for the patterns themselves, Ms Walters has once again shown her incredible talents in wildlife studies. There are 30 North American wildlife patterns in total, presented in both a line and tonal format with an additional 10 bonus silhouette patterns for border or decorative studies. An absolute steal for the money! These patterns will give me more than enough working patterns for some time to come.
But, over and above this, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book offers so much more than the average pattern book. It also explores the whole concept of pattern usage in the craft world. There are several chapters dedicated to the use of line and tonal patterns, transferring patterns, modifying patterns, computer manipulation, as well as adapting patterns to a number of various arts and crafts. It allowed me to see the potential in any given pattern to be broken down or manipulated into more than just one single idea.
I also loved the picture gallery where one pattern has been adapted and used in a number of different crafts.... from woodcrafts such as pyrography, carving & scroll sawing to rubber stamping, stenciling, glass etching, tole painting and even quilting.
I feel this book is extremely functional as well as truly inspirational to so many craftspeople. And again...a great value for the money...if only to see the wonderful works of Ms Walters. I look forward to any future books by this artist and author.
