Native American Pattern and Design Books
Below are some of the top selling Native American design and pattern books I have found and in association with Amazon I can now offer them to you at the low prices only Amazon can offer.
Most of these books have been great resources to both Al and myself over the years in his carvings as well as my pyrography and gourds. Of course living in New Mexico native American style designs have a strong influence over our work but it is popular with artists and collectors in all parts of the country.

Native American Pattern and Design Books
Dover publications offers some of the best selection of design and clip art books that are suitable for most crafts including gourds, pyrography, woodcrafts and so many more crafts. I have spent a fortune on these books over the years but I am listing those that I have found to be most valuable. In case you haven't noticed...I'm a bit biased. I'm addicted to native American art. Perhaps that's why I moved back to New Mexico!
