Recensione:

This book has been updated from the previously published 'Encyclopedia of Origami and Papercraft' in 1991, which itself was reprinted as a paperback entitled 'Artistry in Paper'. This book covers a number of paper techniques including origami, paper sculpting, bookbinding, papier mache and pulp and other techniques. It is clearly laid out, easy to use and includes fabulous diagrams and line drawings as well as examples of what can be achieved. Precise, step-by-step instructions are given to learn the basics of each craft. By and large, this is an introductions to various paper crafting techniques for beginners and students on basic art courses. The short quilling section has the best ideas I have seen for using quilling in any book. I also think the sections are quite thorough and the projects are ones that most people would want to try. I like it, it is very useful. --Karenplatt.co.uk

L'autore:

Ayako Brodek's love of origami started when she was a little girl. On long ferryboat rides to her grandparents' home in Shikoku, her mother made origami cranes and boats from candy wrappers to chase away the boredom. Her fascination with origami continued, and after thirty years of folding for personal enjoyments she founded OriCraft to introduce her origami creations to a wider audience. Her focus is on designing origami works of art that can be loved and used in everyday life. Wearable origami is one of her biggest passions, and she has devoted considerable time to exploring ways to transform origami objects into exquisite and durable jewellery. She sells her work at art and craft shows and through her website. She also teaches origami to all ages at local libraries and schools. Juju Vail first starting making things at the age of 9, when she crocheted the Italian flag. Since then, she has felted, painted, crocheted and beaded her way through life, writing books and pieces for magazines as well as teaching and selling her work. Juju was born and brought up in Canada, but has lived in London for the last 18 years. jujulovespolkadots.typepad.com
