5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner!, July 11, 2000

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

I've just received my copy of Janet Wilsons paper pricking book and am absolutely enthralled. I copied a design onto parchment, copied the dots with a white pen and pricked the holes. To my delight the picture was perfect just as she said it would be. I am delighted and would recomend this book to anyone doing any paper craft. It shows you all you need to know and the pictures are very clear, especially to a novice. This book has opened avenues I never thought I would explore!

2.0 out of 5 stars don't get a repeat..., September 10, 2002

By A Customer

I goofed when I ordered this book at the same time that I ordered the Traditional Papercrafts book by the same author. Almost this entire booke, but 8 pages, (4 patterns) is in the second book. If you like paper crafts just get the traditional papercrafts book instead of this one, you get much more for your money. Is also a pain enlarging the patterns. None would have been so large that she couldn't have put the full size pattern in the books. Making something 125% bigger is the pits.

By	Karen Milone (UNITED STATES) - See all my reviews

THIS BOOK IS VERY THOROUGH. FROM TOOLS TO PATTERNS, YOU WILL HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET STARTED. THIS BOOK IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND THE EXAMPLES ARE CLEAR. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW SIMPLE, YET ELEGANT YOUR CREATIONS WILL BE.
