"Paper Transformed" demonstrated that paper is a bountiful and inexpensive resource that can be transformed into amazing works of art once touched by a skilled paper artist's hand. "Paper Transformed" serves as the ultimate, up-to-date resource for any paper crafter, artist, or designer who wishes to create and use hand-designed papers. It features step-by-step illustrated instructions for 100 styles of beautiful handmade papers and offers a project section including 25 ideas for how to use them. The paper treatments cover some traditional processes, as well as numerous variations with scores of new and original paper treatments and project applications from the author. The application possibilities are endless as are the ways the papers can be used: for booking and journal making, scrapbooks, card making, paper sculpture, paper jewellery, collage, home decor, and more.

I really cannot praise Paper Transformed: A Handbook of Surface-design Recipes and Creative Paper Projects highly enough. We all know that some books don't live up to the hype, or the cover picture, for that matter. This book will spend more time off the shelf and in use, than any other, I guarantee. I did a review of this on my blog, including some pictures, so if you want an idea of what to expect, please go have a look:

All the effects in the book are shown as tags, and there are a huge number.The instructions for each are simple, usually no more than 4 or 5 steps. They do not require you go out and buy a certain brand of products either, which is something that always annoys me.For most papercrafters/cardmakers, you will have 90% of the stuff already. There are then a number of projects using the techniques, and again they are well put together, a minimum number of steps, and are really do-able. Unlike a lot of books, this does not have all the best stuff on the cover, then the rest of the book is just 'filler'- every project is good. I find so many books have stuff that I know I will never use, or do, and just one or two items I like. This book does not( for me) have a single thing in it that held little or no interest.
I like altered art, and altered items, but equally, I know I have too little space to keep them, too few people to pass them on to, and too little time to devote to them. I make cards, because I can achieve an artistic piece, given my time restraints, that friends & family will enjoy receiving as much as I enjoyed making. This book has so much inspiration within its pages, it is amazing value.
If you are only going to buy one Papercrafting book, I heartily recommend that you make it this one.

Great book for beginners and experts alike. Just a few of the items may not be easy to get in the UK but the book is still worth buying. Many techniques which can be used to make cards, books, boxes, tags etc.
You will make backgrounds which are great for stamping on.
