This book comes with a CD containing all silhouette patterns from the projects plus additional images. Papercut projects have always fascinated me. I love the detail of the simple and intricate designs, yet can’t imagine myself with sharp little scissors able to actually paper cut out a silhouette. Bananto starts with very easy projects and builds to the more complex. An excellent way to teach any technique! I was a little timid at first, but my confidence grew, as I was able to do the cutting without mishap. I do love detail and miniature work so silhouettes intrigued me. There are dozens of templates and designs to work from included in the book. The book also covers the variety of supplies you can use to enhance the silhouettes. You’ll find all kinds of boxes, tags, lanterns, cards, paper dolls, and accessories in the over 40 projects. Excellent step-by-step photography.
