I've had these before and am used to small, blocky images but these. You don't even need to turn the scanner on as for anybody with a computer this book comes with a CD of all the designs. Produced in the 9th century, this bright, beautiful and stylized book with its illuminations and "carpet pages" has captivated artists and craftspeople for years.Ĭeltic art is currently enjoying a wave of popularity and whatever your project, you are sure to find something in here to inspire you. To anybody at all interested in Celtic art there is nothing quite as impressive - or as quintessentially Celtic - as the Book of Kells. This book will be inspirational for anyone interested in art and crafts. For artists wishing to add some beautiful and complex designs into their artworks, this book will make an excellent addition to their library. As well as the simple designs for tracing, Judy's' book includes 16 pages of finished projects to inspire and show how versatile the designs can be. There's also a CD of designs included which has been specially adapted for craftspeople and artists.

These can be traced from the book and enlarged as needed by photocopier or computer. These designs are suitable for a variety of projects, with exquisite interlaced patterns and stylised animals that form motifs or can be repeated to create beautiful borders. A fabulous collection of designs from the illuminated mediaeval manuscript The Book of Kells.
