For beginners, there's a how-to section, while for the more advanced quiller there are some challenging projects- from chocolates that look fit to eat to delightful fairies and cute poodles. It contains all the information you need to start quilling, including a guide on tools and techniques, plus clear step-by-steps and templates.

This is a compendium volume containing four previous books by four different authors on quilling wild flowers, 3D decorations, miniatures and corners and borders. Notice that it does not include a book for beginners; there are projects here to entice the intermediate and even advanced quiller but there are also instructions on the basics. The projects themselves tend to be more suitable for those with at least some experience however, so I would advise the beginner to look elsewhere and save this one for later. There are some lovely things in here, from delicate Christmas tree angels and fairy table decorations to napkin rings adorned with autumn leaves and a kitchen memo board decorated with wild flowers. You can also find patterns to decorate cards, gift bags, pictures, boxes and more, many of which are nice chewy projects, involved and interesting. I think my own personal favorites are the 3D decorations for adorning trees and tables, and the tiny motifs on many topics that can be made into repeat borders at the end of the book. There is a lot in here to have fun with; a worthwhile addition to any papercrafter's keeper shelf. * Myshelf.com *Oct/Nov 10 Paper crafting is accessible and enjoyable for a vast range of ages and is a hobby which has recently come to the fore.
