Review
This is the ultimate iris folding book, containing all the patterns from the previous three compendiums, which in turn contain the patterns from the small square books that papercrafters know and love. But if you are new to the hobby and don t know what it is all about, don t worry, for some basic instructions are given. These are not quite as basic as those in the original booklets, however, which helpfully explained all about how the hobby came about, what supplies you need to obtain, how to cut and prepare it etc. Instead, the patterns are grouped in three sections, depending on what initial shape they are based upon. I couldn t find any mention of the width of strip needed or how to fold it, so I would rate the book as being definitely aimed at improvers; any beginners reading this had better get hold of one of the original books, or one of Search Press own iris folding books. Here, though, is a treasure trove of patterns, all of them shown made up to give inspiration and with brief instructions. There are patterns for Christmas and Easter, new baby, celebrations, invitations and any time you need a card. Cats, pots, clothes, plants, parasols, eggs, abstract shapes, wine glasses etc are all here, together with many more. And once you have the hang of it, here is a wonderful way of recycling old envelopes, unwanted mailshots, wrapping paper and any other paper you might otherwise throw away. Was being green ever such fun?! --Rachel Hyde, MyShelf
Delve into this book for an amazingly thorough guide to iris folding! If you've tried this fascinating technique before and fancy a new challenge then this is the book for you.

With hundreds of different templates for you to use, step-by-step photos are kept to a minimum so there's more room to show you the inspiring finished cards. There's quite a lot to take in, so why not enjoy the chance to curl up with your craft kit and a cuppa while you choose which project to start with. --Papercraft Inspirations, Feb 08
