[.uk] Art of Paper Quilling: Designing Handcrafted Gifts and Cards (ISBN 1592533868)



Wonderful & Inspiring!:
This book definitely is the best quilling book I own or seen in stores. The projects in the book range from simple to complex. The workmanship is neat and exquisite, a great model to follow. There are some techniques that I have not seen elsewhere that produce interesting effects. The gallery of the author's work is wonderful and inspiring. I hope she would publish a book on how to create those large, complex pieces of quilling artworks. I'd like to try creating one of those heirloom-quality quilling artworks and proudly hang on my wall. The "Art" of Paper Quilling is a very fitting title for the book. Update: The book has folded roses that are much prettier then roses in other books. However, the directions on page 24 were not detailed enough for me to follow and produce a good looking rose like the ones in the book. I emailed Claire asking for step-by-step instructions. She replied with a video she recorded demonstrating the folded rose. Absolutely wonderful! Seeing it done once is a thousand times better then reading instructions on how it should be done. After seeing the video, I was able to create folded roses just like the ones in the book.


Paper Quilling:
I had borrowed the book from my local public library and knew I had to purchase it. Very informative and very good instructions on the art of Paper Quilling. Love it.


The Best Quilling Book Ever:
I've been quilling for a few months and was totally bored with all the little cutsie patterns and projects and didn't want to get into quilling marriage documents or birth anouncements. Everything I saw was based on the idea that you were a beginner who wasn't really interested in this craft until I found this book. The author is amazing! She is without a doubt the finest quiller I have ever seen. Her work has inspired me to expand on my own with new ideas and techniques. Her projects take you step by step through each section in clear and easy to understand directions to a finished piece that you wouldn't mind giving as a gift or framing for your own wall. There is a gallery of quilling in the back of the book that shows pieces I would never have believed were made from paper except that now I know how to do them myself from reading her book. I am working on a project now that uses 6 new techniques that I have never found in any other quilling book. It's a three demensional flower arrangement of my own design and every time I look at it I am amazed that I am the one who created it. Quilling is fun again! This book showed me that I have only just scratched the surface of this amazing craft. Thank you Claire Sun-ok Choi for taking the time to share your knowledge.


Art of Paper Quilling:
I was totally satisfied with the book and the shape of the used book. Thanks.


Art of Paper Quilling:
Art of Paper Quilling: Designing Handcrafted Gifts and Cards A beginner could use this book as it has basic instructions for most of the techniques. What I like about the book is it covers a wide variety of quilled pieces from cards to boxes. It also has a newer technique for hand fringed flowers. The pictures of the finished designs and the techniques are large and clear. It is a nice addition to a paper quilling library.
