Unique One-Sheet Projects Using Origami, Weaving, Quilling, Pop-Up, and Other Inventive Techniques

This book was the most informative narration on papercrafting that I've ever seen. It was educational and inspiring, from an author who you can tell by every word is passionate about the craft.

It includes a comprehensive history of papermaking, how versatile a fiber it is and all the different uses it can have, from everyday writing paper to clothing and art.

The author details an informative journey but also an overview, from needed materials to methods, and for a huge variety of projects, with step-by-step pictures or diagrams accompanying them all. Some are simple, while others are more complex and can elevate your practice into creating art. Some of the project categories include quilling, seeding, folding, cutting, origami and papermaking, etc.

I found the history very interesting, as well as the process of creating your own paper and thread. The book is filled with lovely photos of glorious works of paper art, as well as the ones detailing the projects.

I won't lie; some of those projects I found intimidating for a beginner to approach, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't attempt to try a few of the simpler ones at some point in time.

The book overall left me with a much deeper appreciation of paper and all the wondrous things it can create.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. ~~ Dee Astell
