Beautiful designs ★★★★★
2008-03-07
The pop-up designs in this book are amazing and beautiful. Some of the designs require a tremendous amount of detailed cutting and assembly, but the result is very artistic and nice. The method of attaching the pop-up to the back boards was something I never thought of. The Chatani books always used string instead. The CD that is included with the book contains the patterns for each design, in PDF format, that you can print. I wish the entire copy was translated into English. Only portions were translated. This would have been particularly helpful concerning the paper types. I do not think that you can find such papers, as seen in the book, here in the United States. I look forward to more pop-up books from the author and I hope her incredible pop-up tree design will eventually be made available to the public.
