Product Description
Product Description
Parchment craft involves using parchment paper; a strong and flexible translucent paper. The techniques used include tracing from a design, embossing (raising) the pattern, perforating, cutting, painting and creative art stamping. This book features over 15 beautiful designs including greetings and celebration cards, decorated envelopes, splendid wall decorations, colourful bookmarks, lampshades and cut-out cards. Clear, step-by-step instructions and patterns accompany every project plus all the basic techniques and equipment are explained in full at the beginning of the book. The projects are perfect for both newcomers to the hobby and those already addicted to this compelling craft. To help beginners, the book is divided into different projects, each one teaching a new technique enabling the reader to build up a repertoire of skills. For the more experienced, this book is a source of new patterns and ideas. A comprehensive list of suppliers and stockists of materials is included to help with sourcing equipment.

Format:Paperback
This book presents 15 projects with step by step instructions and a full explanation of basic techniques. Templates are given but do need to be enlarged on a photocopier. Parchment paper can be used to make greetings cards, lampshades, flowers and more. It can be coloured with a variety of materials. One project uses Dorso crayons - I have never heard of those but they are a Pergamano product available in many countries. The projects are interesting and varied and this book can be used by beginners and the experienced alike. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

Nice but disappointed..
24 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received this in the mail, and was disappointed. This book is identical to the hard back book of the same name published in 1998. The only difference is the cover and it's a paperback. Do not get me wrong. The book is very good book to start working with Pergamano Parchment. Now I have a copy which I'll be using as a gift.
