Lovely and useful

It was a pleasure just to page through the wonderful photos in this book, and more of a pleasure to make a few of the simple and attractive projects. Good description of how to make paper in the first chapter. Clear directions throughout, and a terrific collection of templates at the end. The author very successfully reminded me of the vast possibilities for this versatile medium--lots of fun.

A great introduction to papermaking.

I could only find one review of this book when searching on the web, which was pretty off putting, however I was pleasantly surprised with it. As a novice papermaker, with an interest in making paper and objects out of paper I found this book light hearted, interesting and an easy read, as well as being a good introduction to the craft of paper making. The photography and styling are beautiful, the projects may be simple, but they are also very inspiring. I think the concept behind the projects was to inspire with colours, textures and shapes, what you can acheive with all kinds of paper- to give people ideas, rather than challenge experienced paper crafters with complicated and unachievable projects. If you are looking for an easy intro to the craft of papermaking and some stunning and simple projects to make then this is the book for you
