While this book has awesome pictures and fairly clear instructions, I do not recommend it for someone who has not done enough crafting to find supplies on their own. There are four pages listing materials needed to complete various projects, but no suggestions of where to obtain them. I am not new to crafting but this is a bit different from what I normally create and I have been very frustrated by the inability to find all that I need to even try one of the illustrated techniques.

The pictures in this book are wonderful. As a matter of fact the picture on the cover makes you want to purchase the book to see more. It has very specific instructions for very specific prints, and very detailed for that print only. You'll feel like you can't wait to get started, because the instructions are so detailed, you'll feel like I could do this. Then you find out this author doesn't tell you where to get any of the supplies used in the book. She doesn't even give you a clue of where to obtain anything used or seen in the book. Frustrating!
You can find the main print Cherry Blossoms, and the Chef print at these 2 websites that I know about, [...]. Hope this helps in someway. I had typed the web-sites on this review, but Amazon took them out. So I'll put the name of the web=site and hope the that won't get deleted, Papertole USA has 2 of the prints used in this book.

I love the illustrations in this book! The instructions are fairly clear. I haven't yet made any of the creations so I can't offer a more concise review of how easy or hard the creations are to make. Bottom line, I would buy this book again.
