Quilling Art

Comprehensive book

Very interesting book

Beautifully written, comprehensively explained and illustrated instructions and excellent photographs.

So inspiring but not for a beginner. The designs are excellent and seem easy to follow after you can understand how to do the different types of quilling. I would recommend this book to a novice or too someone who has been quilling for a while

The 3D art it produces is pretty and the instructions are detailed and easy to follow a great book to explore what you can do.

3.5 Stars Lovely glossy pages and although it states paperback this is more of a thick card and it even has folded over front and back covers that you can use to slide over pages to bookmark the project you are working on. Bright white backgrounds that allow the vibrant colours used in the projects to really pop and look stunning on the pages. The high gloss could actually be a detriment if working on a project though as they do reflect a lot of light and a quick test under my LED light showed that I would have to be careful if following a project how I angled the book/lamp configuration. I was also a little disappointed in the projects themselves - there is a little bit of quilling in each one but most of them involve paper sculpture more than actual quilling. Each project is worked in thick strips - mainly 10mm - and starts with constructing a border to work within rather than a more freeform, traditional quilling approach. All the templates are included but they are absolutely tiny. I was genuinely surprised at how small they were, especially as the photographs show large finished pieces (approximately twice the size of the template). So much so I think I would be tempted to trace from the photography rather than the template, or do some photocopier wizardry. It is an inspiring book and I can see myself adapting certain of the projects to work with thinner papers for images rather than stand alone items. That said, the various drinks (I love the coffee cup) would make a fun hanging if worked to a larger size - at their current sizing they would just be too small for display. I also loved the colours used in the various projects and it did give me some ideas for colour use in my own projects. Sort of a hybrid book that is more paper crafting with a bit of quilling tossed in for detailing and texture than true quilling. Looks beautiful and the projects do give you a good starting off point for your own designs. More of a coffee table book for me than an actual craft book though, although it does give some good information about working with paper and quilling coils and manipulating them.

This is a lovely book, with many beautiful ideas. I am new to quilling and I’m looking forward to trying the ideas in this book. The book arrived in good condition and is a well illustrated book.

Good instruction, easy to follow. Great diagrams

Very nice book!

Lovely book with some great designs to get you started. Instructions are easy to follow. One warning is that strip size used in all the designs is 1cm/10mm which is not the most common size of paper so be warned. The starter kit I have is not that size paper now trying to buy some the right size but not easy just now.

This is a gorgeous book, with lovely photography, easy to read fonts and super clear instructions. I just started quilling, and already feel like this book has helped me grasp all the basics in very little time. The photography stunningly showcases each project in a way that makes me excited to try them all. Even as I advance into a more skilled quiller, I imagine this book will be a good reference to come back to, because it’s just so easy to use, and a joy to look at.

Questo libro non poteva mancare nella mia biblioteca! Adoro il quilling e questa artista. I contenuti sono ben fatti, belle immagini e spiegazioni chiare (peccato sia in inglese). Lo consiglio anche se si pratica quilling ad un livello avanzato, come nel mio caso.

This quilling template book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in paper quilling, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills. The templates are clearly laid out, with step-by-step guides that make complex designs easy to follow. I especially liked the variety—there are floral patterns, geometric shapes, and even themed projects that spark creativity. The paper quality and print are excellent, and the author includes useful tips on how to use each template effectively. My only minor wish is that there were a few more advanced designs for experienced quillers. Overall, this book is both inspiring and practical—a great addition to any quiller’s collection!
