    Full of interesting ideas

    This is a good overview of techniques that may be used with paper. Many of them were things I hadn't seen before but are now added to my repertoire. The illustrations are beautiful but could go into more detail on how the techniques are performed. For an overview, the images are adequate.
    If you like to experiment with arts and crafts, this is a good book for finding new ideas and materials that you may not have otherwise considered.
