Most quillers will be familiar with the standard width 3mm papers, but this book uses the 2mm and narrower types. There are some truly impressive pieces in here, which makes the book perhaps not the first choice for the novice quiller. (There are already plenty of books available teaching the basics.) To be fair, this book also shows you how to start from scratch and in some detail, so if you are a beginner and like to work small, then this might be the book to get your creative juices flowing. I like the way that it is not just about quilling cards, but shows many ways of making more three-dimensional pieces, such as flower fairies, angels for the Christmas tree, and those wonderfully realistic chocolates on the cover. Attach them to cards, boxes or anything else that takes your fancy – this book encourages you to use your imagination. In typical Search Press style, this book also contains many staged photographs showing in some detail how to make each piece, so good results are possible with the right amount of care and some practice. This is a lovely book, one of the best I have seen on quilling, and the only one I have seen on using the narrower strips.
