Why are curves important? What are the secrets of ornamentation? How do you create an invisible repeat in a fabric or wallpaper design? Does a hidden geometry inform these free-flowing floral compositions? In this beautiful pocket book, packed with rare illustrations and helpful diagrams, artist Lisa DeLong demonstrates the time-honoured techniques behind the use of curves and plant forms in the traditional visual arts.

From ironwork to illuminated manuscripts, this is an inspirational book.
