Borders, frames, patterns and motifs are included in this beautiful book, which offers an abundance of illustrations and ideas.
The specially commissioned collection garden flower designs will inspire anyone wanting to create unique, original work. Here you will find illustrations that can adapted for your own projects, or used directly to decorate paper, textiles, china, glass, metal, wood and more. You can create your own greetings cards, produce personalised posters, or use elements of the designs to create borders and frames.
Polly Pinder studied graphics at Leeds Art College. Her first job was with a Yorkshire newspaper, and she subsequently worked as a lecturer in graphic design at Wakefield District College. She has written and illustrated a number of books on a variety of other subjects including cake decoration and growing herbs, papermaking and paper crafts. Her illustrations in Muck and Magic were commended when that book won the 1993 Sir Peter Kent Conservation Book Prize. She has also designed bed linen and wallpapers, and the graphics for a wallpaper book based on newly-discovered eighteenth-century wallpapers.
