Product Description
A comprehensive design source book of all types of Celtic beasts by leading exponent of Celtic art, Courtney Davis. "The 101 beasts" cover the whole history of Celtic design from examples found on ancient Celtic manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book of Kells, to Courtney Davis's own celebrated modern interpretations. The 101 animal designs are all hand painted by Courtney Davis and printed in full colour. Each is accompanied by a black-and-white version of the same design on the adjacent page - perfect for use on personal art, design and craft projects. The introduction gives a brief history of the Celts and an explanation of the birth and development of their artistic style with particular relation to animal designs.

Great for Cross Stitch
22 Mar 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
My hubster is full-blooded Irish and I got interested in Celtic stuff Bcuz of him. I got this because I love the myths and the Celtic astrology and I cross stitch. Since Celtic cross stitch patterns are few and far between, I bought this book to use with my Pattern Maker software. I can scan the illustration I want and turn it into a cross stitch pattern to create. It's wonderful for this purpose Bcuz the colors are bright and bold and easy for the software program to pick up. I love the book. It would be nice to have it a bit larger, but is easy to take in my pocket size-wise.
