This is a lovely book of Chinese designs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The is a beautiful book containing designs to challenge the beginning as well as the advanced cross-stitcher. Each design includes details of the source of the design as well as some historical/cultural background. Many familiar Chinese symbols are represented including dragons, pagodas, phoenix, and my favorite the Chinese Zodiac with information on what date in a given year the Chinese year started.There are two items that need mentioning but should not prevent the purchase of this book -- 1) the color keys list Anchor floss numbers (this book was written and published in Britian where Anchor is more commonly used.) However, a floss conversion from Anchor to DMC is in the back of the book. 2) Some graphs (many larger designs are provided in both color and black and white)are on a small grid but this problem is easily solved with the enlargement feature on a copier.This is a well researched book with many traditional Chinese designs. Well worth the money.
