The New Paper Quilling: Creative Techniques for Scrapbooks, Cards, Home Accents & More
Expert Christensen definesquillingas the "rolling, scrolling, shaping, or fringing of narrow strips of paper to create lovely designs." And the designs she showcases in this very striking handbook on the craft (which is growing in popularity) are indeed lovely. Addressing both beginners and advanced crafters, the author begins with basic tools and supplies, which are neither extensive nor elaborate, and then discusses basic quilling techniques. At this point, the book gives way to its "meat": instructions--clear and spirited--to 30 specific projects. Christensen's directions are augmented by absolutely gorgeous illustrations. The result is one of the most attractively formatted crafts book to appear this season.Brad HooperCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
