This is a wonderful, empowering craft book. It starts at the very beginning, and has clear instructions, excellent illustrations, and tons of ideas for making simple wire and bead jewelry. I was having fun, being creative, and making lovely gift-worthy jewelry the very first day I picked up this book and my needlenose pliers. My 5 year old daughter is enjoying both the design process and the results. Alltogether, it has been a great jumping-off point for myself, as a beginner adult. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book and kit as a gift for a tween/teen.
Not about quilts in the classic sense this book is about making "quilts" or geometric quilt-like decorative patterns similar to tile mosaics, using origami (Japanese paperfolding) techniques. Tomoko Fuse is the reigning master of modular origami designs, in which multiple sheets of paper are folded into identical or similar shapes. These are then linked into larger objects, often three dimensional, but in this case, 2 dimensional mosaics. Some modular origami experience is recommended, plus a large supply of origami paper! But the results are spectacular! A must-have for any modular origami fan.
Terry's models have a unique style. While being quite complex, they are far from being "dry". They have a cartoonish quality, and are very expressive and fun. The book contains much more than diagrams. Each model comes with paper recommendations, size ratio, even estimated folding time...
