Kirigami 8,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kirigami 8- Lucky Symbols (Paperback)
This book is the final book in the series of eight books. It contains 24 patterns that are considered to be lucky symbols. The lucky symbols include bamboo leaves, dahilias, and maple leaves for good fortune. Designs used in jade which was worn to repel evil spirits. Birds such as doves, geese, magpies, and the phoenix which represents peace, happiness and good fortune. Double happiness symbols where the left side of the pattern is the mirror image of the right side. For a bride and groom this is a wish for them "to stick to each other till their hair turns grey" and to "have a harmonious union lasting a hundred years". The book also contains flower blossom patterns which represent perfection, blessedness, prosperity and joy. And the final patterns are the longevity patterns used to wish one good fortune and a long life.

Beautiful designs, a good guide,

This review is from: Kirigami 8- Lucky Symbols (Paperback)
This is my second Kirigami book. I was so delighted by the "Flowers" edition in this series that I decided to try the Lucky symbols. The book has few words, yet the instructions are very clear to me. I am a "crafty" person, however I am relatively new to Kirigami. I would rank the designs as medium complexity. They are definitely NOT simple childish designs, yet they are possible to achieve with a pair of regular good scissor, no special cutting tools.
The book is organized in the following way: One side of the open book has the final designs, and the other side of the book has instruction on how to fold the paper and outline of the image you need to cut when the paper is folded for the completed designs. The book has 14 pages, yet it is packed with projects so I felt I got my money's worth. There is a total of 24 patterns. The book also comes with 15 colored Kirigami papers. And a final note that I was so delighted with some of the designs that I adopted them for use in my art quilts, basically making them a variation on Hawaiian quilting. I was delighted with the results of both of my paper and fabric projects! I recommend this book!
