Art Nouveau Cut & Use Stencils

This is a really great book if you are looking for art nouveau stencils. The paper that the images are printed on can actually be used as the stencil itself as long as you follow the treatment instructions in the beginning of the book. This is a great book with really great designs!

This book has some nice, simple patterns, including those with floral, animal, and geometric designs. They are printed on one side in black on a medium weight, cream colored cardstock. For actually use of these "stencil patterns," I would recommend copying or tracing onto a more durable plastic made for stenciling. Also, some of the stencils patterns are repeated in different sizes throughout the book (they range from 1 1/2 inches up to a full page). All in all, there are some nice designs, and there is a two-page introduction that details what you need to stencil. I think this is good book for a beginner, but too simple for an artist.
