Title:  Ornamental Borders, Scrolls, and Cartouches
Author:  Syracuse Ornamental Company – A Dover Book
ISBN:  0-486-25489-5

Borders, Frames

Title:  Borders, Frames, and Decorative Motifs
Author:  Charles Derriey – A Dover Book
ISBN:  0-486—25322-8
General Topic:  Reference as the titles indicate

Review:  We put both of these books together because they are equally great reference books for borders, frames, scrolls, cartouches, and decorative motifs.  These ideas definitely will enhance a design and inspire your creativity.  You might even find yourself creating a design around one of these motifs. Definitely an asset to your library.


Journey of Imagination

Name of book:  A Journey of the Imagination
Author: James Christensen
ISBN: 0-86713-021-0
General topic: Artwork of James Christensen
Review: This book is a journey through the imagination of James Christensen, and what an imagination he has.  His art is whimsical and beyond any imagination of any artist I know of in present day.  Fairies, elves, princesses just about anything you can dream of is in this book.  Not a step by step how to book, just one of those book you can get lost in and dreaming that I too could have one small amount of James imagination.
