Polish Wycinanki Designs (International Design Library)

Charming designs of Polish paper-cutters, including the leluja, woodland, gwiazdy, ribbon, medallion and symmetric patterns.

Timeless Polish Folk Art It was this wonderful book by Frances Drwal that truly brought this art form to life for me. These papercuts, some white on black and some black on white, are wonderfully done.I happened across this litle gem just before publishing my novel PUSH NOT THE RIVER Push Not the Riverand immediately decided I had to use a few in the book. Ms. Drwal was more than willing for me to choose a number of her little masterpieces, thus greatly enhancing a story based on the actual diary of a Polish countess . Good value, great content DesignWorks This book is a good resource for my design and craft projects with lots of beautiful "paper cutouts" to choose from.The book arrived in perfect condition, was shipped promptly, and arrived on schedule. The only negative is that I was hoping that the illustrations would be in color, like the cover. Not a problem.. lovely patterns I bought this book because I make quilts and wanted to have some patterns from the book. As it turns out, I will most likely use the pattern from the front cover, but there are many inside that would work as well. It is all black and white inside, but with quilting, it doesn't matter; indeed, it might be better than color, so a quilter could imagine her own colors. Lovely book.
