Synopsis

The superb skills of the Vikings as artists and craftspeople were evident in all areas of their daily lives, in their jewellery, wood and stone carvings, ceramics, textiles and metalwork. The designs in this book attempt to encapsulate their artistry: the beautiful interwoven patterns, the stylised designs and the flowing lines. Here you will find illustrations that can adapted for your own projects, or used directly to decorate textiles, china, glass, metal, wood and more. You can create your own greetings cards, produce personalised posters, or use elements of the designs to create borders and frames.
