This is the second of this successful partnership’s books on the subject, and there really are papers for all occasions. Each square features four themed items, one at each corner, so whichever way you choose to use it a different pattern will appear - the best sort of paper for this craft. The themes include gardening, sports, fashion, teenage, wedding, nautical, teatime and more, encompassing hobbies and occasions rather wider than just birthday or Christmas. There are none of the latter actually, but that is surely a subject for a book in itself! Turn to the back and find twelve different ways of making medallion-shaped embellishments (well, eleven and a butterfly) shown using the papers, and shown life-size and in color. The diagrams are simple but easy to follow and would be a good introduction to the hobby. Great fun, highly addictive, and beautifully produced.

Search Press have also brought out Iris Folding 2 this month, so look out for that at Amazon.com US || UK
