The old art of quilling, sometimes known as "paper filigree," gets a new guide specially applied to the fast-growing crafts of scrapbooking and handmade greeting cards. Quilling is the simple art of rolling, shaping, and arranging strips of paper to make beautiful designs. It's easy and fun to do, and the supplies are easily available and inexpensive. Some of the designs work for a variety of themes--flowers, alphabets, numbers, and geometric shapes, as well as golf clubs, fishing poles, footballs, hearts, and shamrocks. The 25 card and 20 scrapbook projects emphasize special occasions: a birthday cake with candles, a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day, a graduation cap with tassel, and tiny feet for sending congratulations to parents of newborns.

Features annotations for more than 6,200 works in the main volume (2007), and more than 2,400 new titles in three annual supplements published 2008 through 2010. New coverage of biographies, art, sports, Islam, the Middle East, cultural diversity, and other contemporary topics keeps your library's collection as current as today's headlines.
