Experience the subtle energies and rich mysteries that inspired Celtic artistry. Here they are expressed in a stirring gallery of color key patterns, zoomorphic designs, and other magical symbols. Each time you explore these motifs and mandalas, you'll find new levels of insight to inspire you, whether your interest is graphic design, interior decorating, needlework, woodworking, or any other fine art or craft. Spellbinding illustrations are carefully reproduced in patterns you can trace, enlarge, reduce, or detail, all taken from authentic ancient Celtic shields, ornaments, borders, illuminations, stone carvings, and other sources. Some are simple geometric patterns, which can serve as backgrounds for your own designs, while others are mesmerizing interweavings that stand alone as works of art. 68 pages (16 in color), 64 b/w illus., 8 1/2 x 11.
