Fantastic Ornament: 110 Designs and Motifs (Dover Pictorial Archive)

This is a very cool book.

The book has a lot of details, including furniture, and archeteture, or interior design. One seems out of place to the rest though. There seems to be a lone Egyptian one among European artwork. I'd love to see more ethnic works. I'm hoping to get Native, African, Middle Eastern and many others eventually.

Got it more for exploring tattoo ideas than for carving wood but I was very impressed with the uniqueness and detail of the drawings.

If you are looking for a detailed book, this is one to buy. Lots of cool drawings.

Good illustration of art.

I bought this book because a lot of my clients have been wanting nice ornate frames surrounding their tattoos, new and old alike. It's becoming a decent trend in my area. Although I had a grasp on what to draw I was looking for a good reference book that would kick my frames up a notch. This book is it. It's detail is spectacular and with so many different themed pieces it's a book I will surely reference again and again.

A book full of awesome designs is useless if you can only get to them using screenshots. I'd hoped that it would be formatted so that I could print individual pages, which shows what I know.

Nice crisp pictures with many varieties to choise from. Not an instructional book on how to draw or anything but.a.very nice book anyway.
