This title features distinctively geometric, richly textured paper patterns that appeal to both the eye and sense of touch. The projects and categories, include stationery, gifts, tabletop, fine art and special occasions. In a warm, encouraging, former teacher's voice, Anna takes you on her unique journey of developing her paper cutting technique and shows eager crafters how to use a knife as a drawing instrument to create any manner of gift or home decor. The projects and categories, including stationery, gifts, tabletop, fine art and special occasions, will be familiar to the DIYer and crafter and can be made with easily purchased, relatively inexpensive materials. Though she provides stencils for each project, Anna also encourages readers to strike out on their own, suggesting alternative sizes or applications. She also explains her recycling by design technique in which cut out pieces left behind can be reused and recycled beautifully to enhance gifts. She also provides basic pattern making terminology, demonstrating that a single motif can be arranged in multiple ways to suit any aesthetic or project.
