Fans of Ann Martin’s website, http://www.allthingspaper.net, already know her for her considerable accomplishments as a writer, as a crafter of exquisitely fine quilling, for her tireless efforts to promote the work of others, and for her uncanny ability to find, and bring to the attention of her readers, anything and everything that is happening in the world of paper crafts. With her new book, the similarly named “All Things Paper,” she continues that good work.
The book is divided into four sections (Home Decor, Fashion Accessories, Jewelry, and Correspondence) and contains 20 projects in total. Along with her own work, she’s invited some of the artists she’s featured online to contribute projects, as well. The result is a collection of beautiful, charming, and clever projects; each accompanied by bright, clear photographs and easy-to-follow directions.
The tutorials run the gamut from simple (and fast) to the stunning (if a bit more time-consuming). There is plenty here for the beginner but more accomplished crafters will also find plenty to get excited about. Best of all, there’s inspiration here for every level.
The book has only just arrived but already my personal favorites include Linda Thalmann’s gossamer-like paper yarn creation, Patricia Zapata’s delightful garland ornament, and the author’s own gorgeous filigreed jewelry projects. Given the sheer number of paper artists the author seems to know and has worked with online, I expect (hope!) this will be the first volume in a whole series of paper crafting books!

Throughout this book all i could think was “i could save so much time making this with my cricuit”
Good book for those who like the traditional noncricuit way of making things

As a long-time follower of Ann Martin’s blog, I, of course, had high hopes for this book. I ordered it in advance just knowing it would be everything I expected. And I have to say, all my expectations were not only met but exceeded!
In this beautiful book, the projects are organized into logical categories and each one is well-presented. The instructions are clear and the photos enhance the directions. I am presently working on two of the projects myself and can vouch for the accuracy of the steps.
True to form, Ann Martin has continued her tradition of featuring talented paper artists in their best light. She has also provided her readers with real-world information to allow us to get in on the creative act and produce useful, beautiful articles that are amazingly fun to create. Ann urges us in the introduction to lose track of time. Indeed.
This book goes beyond arts-and-crafts and steps into the art world, taking us along with it. I can hardly wait for Ann’s next book to come out – it won’t be soon enough!

Sehr unterschiedliche Anregungen mit guter Beschreibung – war mir allerdings meist schon aus den Blogs bekannt. Papier ist einfach ein geiler Werkstoff.
