4.0 out of 5 stars A top-notch book, well worth buying., July 6, 1998

By	Stephanie ([e-mail]) (Australia) - See all my reviews

This book is very pretty to look at. It has lots of good pictures allowing you to follow most examples through step-by-step. The clear instructions accompanying the pictures (or vice-versa) make it easy to use, even for beginners. I found that the diverse range of projects have been useful for me many times. It has taught me the Art of Parchment Craft so well that I have been asked to demonstrate this craft for a local ladies group. I would love to see more books by the same author.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Parchment Craft, June 13, 2000

By	C J ENGELBRECHT (PINEGOWRIE South Africa) - See all my reviews

This book is very clear and easy to follow, however the only thing I do not enjoy so much is having to enlarge the patterns on the photo-copy machine. (I'm just bone lazy I guess) but get it its worth it!
