Product Description

An exquisite paper art book featuring quilling techniques for cards and gifts.

With a focus on simple, elegant projects, the The Art of Paper Quilling offers paper crafters a complete technique guide along with step-by-step project ideas for making beautiful framed pieces, cards, gifts, and more. The designs are all built upon simple rolled coils of paper that when grouped together, form intricate flowers, graceful butterflies, and delicate scrollwork. Quilled designs can be framed or used to embellish greeting cards, books and journals, and many types of simple paper structures. Claire Sun-ok Choi is an expert paper artist who has influenced the revival of this fanciful art form with her inspiring exhibits and internationally known books.

Art of Paper quilling5
This book is very interesting to read and learn on the art of paper quilling. It is well illustrated and easy to understand. The pictures are beautiful and self-explaining.

I recommend this book for beginners and for everyone who is interested in this art.

Beautiful Designs but3
This book has absolutely beautiful designs of paper quilling. There are many styles of flower that are completely different than I have ever seen. However, as an experienced quiller I do not think this book will be very helpful for beginning quillers. The author uses strips of a length which are not, to my knowledge, available in either Canada or the United States (10 5/8"). In addition, some of the lengths she says to use for certain designs seem very suspect. In some cases short lengths are used (according to her instructions) but the picture shows an item clearly made from a much longer strip. In addition she mentions widths of paper which I have never seen here (3/16", 9/32", and 5/16"). Finally, her names of the colours of the strips in her book are names which I have never seen here. If I was trying to follow her instructions and was looking in the stores for "dusty grape" strips that were 10 5/8" long, I think I would be very frustrated when I couldn't find them. Therefore, overall I am somewhat disappointed in this book, even though I do love the designs.
