This new entry in the successful For the First Time� series focuses on a classic craft thats enjoying a resurgence: paper quilling, a form of filigree that’s perfect for scrapbooking, as well as card and ornament making. Using a friendly question and answer format and dozens of close-up photographs, it explains how to roll coils, make the basic shapes, and create off-centered circles, scrolls, roses, loops, and more. And for every technique, there’s a project.

A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

From Booklist

Colored paper might be the artistic mainstay of elementary-school kids--but, thanks to Bartkowski's easy-to-understand instructions, adults could soon adopt the medium, too. Originating in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a religious decoration, quilling today is gaining a wider audience as it showcases its versatility as a three-dimensional stand-alone and enhancer in media such as scrapbooking and greeting cards. Here, the first-time author uses a question-and-answer format, introducing the needed tools and supplies at the outset, then following the basics with techniques (including combing, crimping, and boondoggling, or a form of braiding), and patterns. Among the illustrated choices are a minirose gift tag, scrolled border frames for all kinds of mementos, and Christmas ornaments. A four-artist gallery at the end demonstrates possible results from a 3-D imagination. Patience, patience, and more patience. Barbara Jacobs
