From Booklist
Which came first--the demand to recycle or the desire to create? Actually, the question is moot, because artist Ragsdale offers one of the most imaginative takes on paper crafts yet. Filled with groan-worthy puns, sharp color photographs, and detailed directions, this how-to tome also provides 20 patterns with upscale designs few could resist--a gazelle mask, a room divider, and small items such as fake florals, wallets, and sculptured vases. The basics are explained up front, including materials, tools, and techniques like scoring and rolling board as decorative options. It is hard to ignore the inexpensive nature and cheerful expertise behind each piece--for any crafter, new or experienced.
