## Description

This comprehensive guide to pop-up design and paper mechanics is a delightful introduction to the intriguing aspects of a fascinating craft. This new and accessible approach to pop-up theory and practice distills the numerous mechanisms into a logical set of 18 underlying shapes and explains the techniques for building these shapes. The author demonstrates how sophisticated pop-up designs are constructed and shows how to form a three-dimensional reference book. Invaluable for both professional and amateur designers. Appeals to craft-hobby enthusiasts who make their own greeting cards, but is also a useful aid to teachers of art, design and technology, designers, illustrators and sculptors.

Review: Great Instructions and Illustrations - I just started reading the first chapters of this book and am already impressed with its presentation, illustrations, and easy to follow instructions. Great to learn the terminology of the process first; and I was happy to learn I have nearly all the tools in my stash to begin making my first pop-up examples/applications. Author suggests reader make a booklet showing each of the different applications for future reference--this is such a smart idea. It is a well-organized book and the author's remarks are reassuring that this book contains simple steps that can develop into more complex designs. I'm ready to make this the most used book in my craft room!
Review: Pop up how-to book - I’ve been interested in making pop up cards. This introduces some fun shapes and gives instruction on making pop ups. I tried one and see that pop ups require a trial or two to get it right, but then…wow! You’ve got it! Probably not for small children who would get frustrated.
