 Celtic
Art in Cross Stitch: Over 75 Beautiful Designs
Drawing her inspiration from the surviving examples of the art
of ancient Celtic kingdoms Barbara Hammet has produced a series
of stunning reworkings of the classical Celtic swirling shapes
and sinuous forms that are at once both modern and timeless.
The collection is widely diverse, ranging from a desk set worked
in striking black and terracotta to an eye-catching pair of
peacocks that would enliven any plain wall and a handsome firescreen
whose design is based on the Durrow Circle. There are patterns
to suit every level of skill, while the motif library will provide
plenty of inspiration for further projects.
