Description

A mixture of geometric and floral patterns-all of them are beautiful. Place in a decorative bowl for an instant and tasteful decorative element. These are real-not machine made fakes--and come from Afghanistan. Textile stamps have been used to stamp patterns onto cloth. Many still show traces of the ink used in this process. Generally used as decoration, people have used textile stamps to stencil walls and patterns, have hung them from walls (by placing hooks on the back of the stamps) and....stamping patterns into cookie dough (not recommended, and one hopes, only after a heavy amount of cleaning). Stamps are all different sizes and shapes, but are generally 2 ½ x 2 inches or 3 x 1 ½". Shipping is included in the price.

Features

• The real thing--not machine-made fakes!
• Many still show traces of the ink used on them
• Ships FREE: no gimmicks, no hidden fees, no conditions.
• Collected in Afghanistan
• No two are alike

"Textile Designs is a dazzling, informative fabric encyclopedia of archival beauty. It is a necessary tool for the fashion industry, schools, and libraries." —Women's Wear Daily "An iconography of textile motifs and a vocabulary of pattern. . . . Highly recommended." —Choice Never before have printed textiles been celebrated in a book of this magnitude. Now in paperback, Textile Designs is the indispensable sourcebook for the colorful patterned materials that have been used in fashion and interiors for the past 200 years. Organized not chronologically or geographically but by motif—Floral, Geometric, Conversational, Ethnic, and Art Movements and Period Styles—this bible of textile design presents a stunning cross-section of the materials of everyday life: printed calicos and cottons, flowered cretonnes and chintzes, polka-dot silks and foulards. With its informative text and pattern names provided not only in English but also in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese, this is a must-have for everyone interested in color and pattern.
