Marvelous craft book! Must be seen to be believed!
I have never encountered a craft book that comprises as many original and inventive art projects as this one. Who knew that a handful of popcorn and twigs could be turned into a lovely plum blossom branch? And 3-D paper dolls?! The vast array of things that can be created with paper alone is the marvelous secret of this book. Helen Lin's Folk Arts and Crafts awakens the imagination of the reader like a pungent scent and weaves an endless permutation of new ideas. Best of all, this arts and crafts book teaches resourcefulness. Ordinary household items can be transformed into beautiful works of art worthy of giving. I have already found an economical way to make presents for my friends. Have you?

Not just for arts and crafts lovers.....
There is nothing quite like Helen Lin's "Folk Arts & Crafts". Her book is an interesting, but unique cocktail of Eastern and Western art -- part folk art, part arts and crafts. Don't be intimidated by the photos of the projects -- many are easy to make, with materials that are readily available around the home or school. This book is a must-have for anyone who enjoys or wants to learn arts and crafts.

very graphical oriented. Nice outlines
This book is a good introduction to chinese arts and crafts as well as an in depth overview of the more complex designs. I have 2 kids and they're in love with paper cutting and coming up with designs in the book or on their own. I like it because it stimulates creativity :) thanks Helen for writing such a great book!
