thousands of fans worldwide eager to purchase her distinctive and
highly sought after papercut designs. In this gorgeous book, she
shows you not only how its done in easy-to-follow steps, but also
provides over 20 papercutting templates to try out for yourself.
The book begins with a design section in which Paper Panda provides
a personal account of what inspires her, how she works, and how
Paper Panda came about. This is followed by the techniques section,
in which step-by-step demonstrations illustrate various techniques,
including infilling. There follows a fascinating insight into how
the author creates finished artwork suitable for papercutting, then
how to make the template itself, and how to use the finished
papercut to make cards, framed pictures, and so on. There are 20
papercut projects in the book; five from Paper Panda herself and
five each from three of Paper Panda's friends and colleagues (Sarah
Trumbauer, Louise Dyer and Suzy Taylor) - all accomplished
papercutters in their own rights. Each project consists of a
template, which is reproduced at full-size at the back of the book,
and a finished paper cut, together with some simple instructions.
The designs are simple enough for beginners, though attractive and
interesting enough to inspire more advanced papercutters. The
projects themselves include cards, decorations, and mounted and
framed pictures to hang on the wall, all using a variety of
coloured and patterned papers to show off Paper Panda and friends'
distinctive and beautiful designs to their best advantage.
