Paper Quilling book

       The first part of the book gives a nice overview of the basics (similar and includes directions for folded roses and how to make curled flowers with paper rectangles (which is not in most beginner quilling books). 

        The book offers a variety of projects that are definitely doable by any one who has a basic knowledge and a little practice in making the basic shapes. It starts with lovely flower-based designs and includes a lot more variety. I especially liked the Fall Harvest Design  There is a cute teddy bear waving from behind a flowered fence, a quilt-block design a smiling tiger, some jewelry pieces, and an antique car, and several others. I really like the pattern for the free standing angels and plan to make these. 

        The gallery at the end of the book is truly inspiring and shows you just how awesome art work in quilling can be with large colorful photographs (some are museum quality pieces).

       If you are serious about developing your quilling skills beyond scrapbooking,looking for some ideas for your home or to give as gifts, then I would recommend adding this book to your quilling library.
