Baltica: Pattern and Design Coloring Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781730715457)

BALTICA is ethnographic cahier of textile designs from the Baltic's. Knitting and needlepoint traditions are cherished and passed on for generations. Designs rich with ancient symbolism and blessings. In the old days - old ways, these would be passed on by watch and learn or the maker would have notebooks filled with them. Nowadays this beautiful ancestral knowledge and craftsmanship fades away. With that, it was just common sense to archive and preserve cultural heritage.

There are six BALTICA's in folk art series. It is my hope that these cahiers or "notebooks" will serve their initial purpose for us as it did for our ancestors. BALTICA - Practical, beautiful and spiritual.

LATVIA is renowned for its beautiful folk art in textiles: weaving, crochet, and knitwear. Handicraft traditions are honored and passed on for generations, and now these designs are exclusively displayed in BALTICA. Authentic 33 unique motifs and patterns on single-sided pages to color and inspire you to make your next best embroidery or knitting project. Tune out from everyday noise and tune into a more creative and peaceful you! Enjoy Latvian heritage through detail and color while relaxing. By choosing BALTICA Coloring books, you are not only embracing the art, but you are also helping to preserve a part of the World's Cultural history, and the legacy of our ancestors can go on.
