Treasury of Flower Designs for Artists, Embroiderers and Craftsmen

by Susan Gaber

Susan Gaber's garden is a black-and-white Eden of lush flower design — 100 graceful, botanically accurate garden flowers rendered for artists and anyone who admires or needs floral designs and motifs: needleworkers, craftsmen of all sorts, designers. All the drawings may be used royalty-free.
Ms. Gaber has drawn these flowers with sinuously weaving leaves and stems, flowing and swaying as in a breeze on the page, in compositions suitable for design purposes: some of the flowers appear several times, and many of the drawings form frames, repeating borders, and motifs. The flowers, many full-page, include African Violet, Begonia, Orchid Cactus, Columbine, Daffodil, Dogwood, Iris, Peony, Snapdragon, Tobacco, and much more.

This book contains beautiful line art of a wide variety of flowers. Stippling is included to provide detailing and shading effects. Perfect for artists who want to practice drawing flowers or for crafters who want to create embroidery or cross stitch designs.

Great for the price 5.00 and some change

Good resource for creators, I also here bought a step by step line drawing book as a companion to this one. I like the shading and detail of flowers I intend to master
