In addition to making paper wrap-around covers and simple stitches, this book also includes detailed instructions for such finishing touches and decorative elements as paper dyeing , copy transfers, stamping, and paste papers. The book's step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, yet the projects are sophisticated and beautiful.
