Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Work done with a special flexible translucent paper that resembles medieval skin parchment, parchment craft originated in Colombia, the author's native country. Ospina teaches, writes, and owns a company, Pergamano, that promotes the craft. Working techniques include embossing, decorative cutting, stamping, and painting, and step-by-step projects are included for cards, table decorations, and party favors. This is a relatively new craft but one that fits in well with the increasing interest in paper crafts. Suitable for public libraries.

This book inspires me-- as a Hospcie volunteer, I have used many of the designs on cards to comfort my clients after their loved ones have died. These cards just dont' get tossed out.

"A great getting-started book. The projects are beautiful and progress from basic techniques into more complicated ones. Maybe a little too fast - it doesn't spend much time on the basic tracing and embossing, but then, this isn't rocket science.

beautiful projecrs,the only problem i encountered was the projects in the gallerie sections of the book.The author failed to include directions on how to do these projects,even though she included the patterns.You cant really do them by just looking at them,since some are really intricate.
