Product Description
Product Description
With a focus on simple, elegant projects, "The Art of Paper Quilling" offers paper crafters a complete technique guide along with step-by-step project ideas for making beautiful framed pieces, cards, gifts and more. The designs are all built upon simple rolled coils of paper that when grouped together, form intricate flowers, graceful butterflies, and delicate scrollwork. Quilled designs can be framed or used to embellish greeting cards, books and journals, and many types of simple paper structures. Claire Sun-ok Choi is an expert paper artist who has influenced the revival of this fanciful art form with her inspiring exhibits and internationally known books.

Claire was born in South Korea, where she worked as a quilling paper craft instructor at Hyundai Culture Centre and the Education Centre for the Quilling Paper Craft Association for five years. She has had solo exhibits in New York and London, and she is currently living and studying in Vancouver, Canada.

Format:Paperback
The work shown in this book is lovely and quite sophisticated, particularly in terms of color combinations used. However, especially as compared side-by-side with "Quilling" by Jane Jenkins, it seems that Ms. Choi is more interested in showcasing her work than really teaching others to quill as the instructions given are terse and skimpy. It also seems more suited to people who want a specific project to copy rather than those of us who'd like generalized instruction and inspiration in order to create our own designs.
Also -- and again in comparison with the Jenkins book -- the actual techniques shown and used in the projects are quite limited in scope, i.e. mostly closed loose and tight coils. A mere two pages are devoted to other styles such as loop husking and fringing, and no-where near the variety of examples are shown. Ms. Jenkins devotes 10 pages to alternate side looping alone, with two of those being lovely clear photos of technique.
There are also quite a few typographical errors within which doesn't really matter in a book like this, and yet ... (mind you, I sort-of liked "nameless wildflowers" in the introduction. Presumably she meant "countless"!)
Worth owning, mind you, as long as it's only one of a group of quilling books. If I could only have one, however, it wouldn't be this one.

Of the three books on Quilling I purchased this was by far the best, it contains all you need to get started and designs for you to continue when you have mastered a few basic shapes

Beautiful, but limited.
This is a beautifully put together book. However, it is quite limited in design variety. Its focus is mainly flowers. Quilling is so much more. Read more
