Recensione:

Jessica has written a lovely book crammed with ideas and useful tips for the beginner or established papercutter. I've been papercutting for 6 years and still picked up some really cracking ideas and it was great to see how somebody else comes at the same craft from a different angle. The section on turning a design into a papercut was really interesting and I think this book is definitely one for the coffee table of any papercutter that wants to create their own hand drawn designs and make them into beautiful crafts. --Louise Firchau, Paper Panda

Jessica's artwork is jaw-droppingly good. She's bold and exploits the contrast of colour that can be easily created with solid paper as well as the fragility of the form. I love the variety of artwork that she's included in her selection, it's a pleasure to browse through. --verykerryberry.blogspot.co.uk

Papercutting is a fairly new idea to me, but I was amazed by its creative potential when I received a copy of Jessica Palmer's Art of Papercutting. Here she explains how to see the world through a paper cutter's eyes. It's all about seeing the positive and negative shapes in your subject, so the experience will stand you in good stead if you wish to improve your drawing skills. --The Leisure Painter November 2015
