All that is needed is a pencil, a ruler, a compass, and a steady hand.

Great! Easy to follow!
It's a wonderful book! Great for anyone who wishes to learn about and create their own Islamic geometric designs but does not know where to start. It contains detailed step-by-step instructions with accompanied diagrams for tens of designs (classified according to level of difficulty or complexity) that you can do yourself using only a ruler, a pencil, and a compass. I found that even my elementary students were able to follow the steps in this book to create their own designs without much support. I highly recommend this book!

Inspirierend
Wunderbar gestaltetes Buch, das Lust macht, sich näher mit islamischen Designs auseinanderzusetzen. Das Level ist eher advanced, die Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen verständlich. Kein Buch, um es Seite für Seite schnell zu verschlingen... Ich werde mir in den Weihnachtsferien ein Muster näher anschauen und dies in Ruhe analysieren und genießen. Eher als Meditationsübung, um den Alltagsstress zu vergessen... Geometrie hat immer etwas Tröstliches und Entschleunigendes. Selfcare im besten Sinn.
