This review is from: The Book Of Paper Quilling: Techniques & Projects For Paper Filigree (Paperback)
This is a great basic book for learning to quill. There are many projects and numerous techniques, not just the flat scroll work, but also free standing miniatures and some leaf cutting, etc. However, I find most of the projects to look very old-fashioned in a way that is tacky rather than charming–wall hangings of chickadees and the like. This book is particularly good for making more complicated Christmas designs or variations for many basic flowers. If you are learning to quill, this book is a good place to start, but if you are already familiar with quilling, you might want to go for a book with more contemporary ideas and patterns.

It’s just great., August 7, 2003

This review is from: The Book Of Paper Quilling: Techniques & Projects For Paper Filigree (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn about the techniques and necessary (& additional) supplies. Included in the history, this book features some great color photos of antique items. The techniques and shapes section gives specific directions for each shape used in this craft. Each project also contains a finished color photo along with a design pattern and fantastic instructions. All of the projects are very differnt; some holidays are included; also 3-D, freestanding, and miniatures. I am extremely satisified with this purchase!!
