When is a book not a book?
When it not only has a booklet explaining what to do but a
wallet bulging with templates and papers so you can start
doing it.
Open out this A4-sized folder and you have a booklet on the
left and the aforementioned wallet on the right with everything
you need to make nine beautiful paper mosaic pictures. You
will need scissors (or a knife), a basic hole punch, and paper
glue, but apart from that it is all here. The instructions
are simple to follow and include all the basics you need to
know along with a section showing how to make up each picture.
These are arranged into three groups of three -- beginner,
intermediate and advanced -- and all depict scenes from nature
inspired by the author’s Japanese background. A jungle
at night, a fox in a forest, birds flying home, an egret posing
in the water, and my favorite showing cherry blossoms are
a few of the themes. They make great pictures to hang on the
wall. It is a lot of fun to make them up, the materials are
all good quality, and I do hope this is the first in a series
of kits. Highly recommended for beauty, originality and general
user friendliness.
