An adult coloring book of antique patterns and decorative designs from around the world, redrawn as coloring pages. The designs include Japanese patterns such as shochikubai and shippo-tsunagi, mosaic tiles, Nordic patterns, Hawaiian quilts, Persian carpets from Iran, Tyrolean tape from Austria, acanthus patterns from ancient Greece and Native American weaving.
A design index and notes on the patterns are at the back of the book. The binding lets the book open easily, and the paper is a soft white that shows color well.
The pages can be colored with colored pencils, watercolor pencils, markers or other materials.
