Fun with Pattern

this is SO nice! - it is a great primer in shapes, geometry- design, its good for refreshing the adult eye to observe patterns in architecture and nature for use in art activities - and for the young learning to apply patterns to their own designs. This would be a great gift for the younger creative child who has an artistic parent(s) who will enthusiastically supervise. A great field trip for young and old would be museums- anywhere really, to compare the patterns they see with the great stamp patterns included in this package. I could wish for a couple changes in the design of the book with it but overall this is an awesome package at such an affordable price- don't miss out on this for your budding artist (or yourself)! sooo much better than the dime store junk toys - this set will be useful a LONG WHILE in many applications for the whole family. I bought this for use in making cards for border designs and, as mentioned simply refreshing my eye to the wonders of pattern everywhere in our lives. It has a magnetic catch so when you close it- it snaps shut. a nice touch! I paid under $10.00 total, for my set.

If you love arts and crafts you'll love this book. It explores in a practical way infinite pattern possibilities to be applied in all kind of works: mosaics, paper art, painting, book covers, ceramics, silk painting, etc.Because it comes with 24 rubber stamps you can create your own prototipes or just copy those shown on the booklet that comes with the kit.Also a different kind of gift to surprise.
