From willow patterned china to hanging paper lanterns, we have long had a fascination for oriental designs. In this book of 25 exquisite new projects, Cheryl Owen has been inspired by all things Eastern, whether it's a Japanese paper, an origami technique or a classic papercutting design. The projects range from greetings cards to giftwrap, and from kites to paperweights. Each design involves some aspect of papercrafting, including cardmaking, folding, stamping, papier mache, stencilling, box and book making. With the minimum of tools and equipment as well as a few simple skills, Cheryl shows how to produce spectacular results. These are projects which are useful as well as decorative, perfect for personal use and terrific to give as gifts
