Part of the "Milner Craft Series"--charming decorative painting patterns
20 April 2006
Format:Paperback
This trade paperback, now out of print I believe, has charming decorative painting patterns with directions and colored samples of the designs. It was published in Australia, and the Australians are well known and admired for their design savvy when it comes to crafts and needlecrafts. The paper is very good quality and the book is about 8 1/2 X 11", the size of most US decorative painting books. As the front cover proclaims, "Milner Craft Series," this should alert potential readers that this is a how-to craft book, and a very well done one on a subject not often seen in the US.
Beautiful Designs
30 May 2008
Format:Paperback
I happened to find this gem at a second hand store, and immediately fell in love with several of the designs. Deborah Kneen talks about the regional folk art of different parts of France and has designed some beautiful pieces for decorative painters to try. The design I painted of the menu board with the cherubs nearly caused fistfights at the auction I donated it too. It went for $300.00! I also painted the pepper mill with the Montpellier roses in traditional blue and yellow. Gorgeous! Beautiful book, as interesting to read as it is to paint with. I disagree with the previous reviewer who thinks these designs are more suited to children. If you love folk art, and are a decorative painter, give this a try. You won't be sorry.Thank you Deborah!

Folk Art of France
24 April 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a "how-to" craft book, rather than a history and description of French folk art. It mainly deals with how to paint stencil designs on pottery, metal and wood. The objects that may be crafted with the instructions in this book tend to be things that children, rather than adult folk art collectors, would appreciate.
