Product Description
An exquisite paper art book featuring quilling techniques for cards and gifts. With a focus on simple, elegant projects, the The Art of Paper Quilling offers paper crafters a complete technique guide along with step-by-step project ideas for making beautiful framed pieces, cards, gifts, and more. The designs are all built upon simple rolled coils of paper that when grouped together, form intricate flowers, graceful butterflies, and delicate scrollwork. Quilled designs can be framed or used to embellish greeting cards, books and journals, and many types of simple paper structures. Claire Sun-ok Choi is an expert paper artist who has influenced the revival of this fanciful art form with her inspiring exhibits and internationally known books.

Wonderful, Artistic, and Instructional July 14, 2008
I own several paper quilling books and this is one of my favorites. I highly reccomend it. Claire shows off beautiful work, ranging from the simple to the complex. I also enjoyed her gallery in the back a great deal. The only thing is that nearly all the pieces are floral themed, which I found to be perfectly fine.
Wonderful Work in a Great Book June 23, 2008
I am fairly new to the art of paper quilling and was not really very interested until I received this book. Ms. Choi did a wonderful job in the explanation of techniques and methods in which to create wonderful projects with paper. This book has full color photos and complete illustrated sketches as well as instructions on how to create great projects. I am very interested in making the square gift box on page 102 and was surprised to see that the author has given detailed instructions on how to create the box that the quilling will be placed on. (In most cases I am told to go to my nearest store to purchase a ready made box!) She even has given embellishment tips. Great job on a great book. I will definately recommend this book to anyone out there who is interested in paper quilling.
 Beautiful designs but ... June 2, 2008

This book has absolutely beautiful designs of paper quilling. There are many styles of flower that are completely different than I have ever seen. However, as an experienced quiller I do not think this book will be very helpful for beginning quillers. The author uses strips of a length which are not, to my knowledge, available in either Canada or the United States (10 5/8"). In addition, some of the lengths she says to use for certain designs seem very suspect. In some cases short lengths are used (according to her instructions) but the picture shows an item clearly made from a much longer strip. In addition she mentions widths of paper which I have never seen here (3/16", 9/32", and 5/16"). Finally, her names of the colours of the strips in her book are names which I have never seen here. If I was trying to follow her instructions and was looking in the stores for "dusty grape" strips that were 10 5/8" long, I think I would be very frustrated when I couldn't find them. Therefore, overall I am somewhat disappointed in this book, even though I do love the designs.

I did Quilling in the '70s and want to renew my skill and imagination. There are so many new innovative designs in '08, I'll have gifts for everyone. Peggy Ft Lauderdale

This book is great. I have several quilling books and love it when I get one that actually teaches something different. It has several different projects with full instructions. This is definitely a book that every quiller should have.
