      Sundqvist, a Swedish artist who specializes in three-dimensional paper art, introduces a variety of techniques for working with paper in this stunning collection of projects. The book is divided into general themes, including silhouettes, geometric shapes, food, animals, and buildings, and each theme contains a selection of Sundqvist's work as well as templates and instructions for creating your own paper art. Some of the projects require origami-style folding; others use creative cutting or the use of colored or specialty papers to achieve the desired effect. Most of the instructions are strictly textual, so knowledge of paper craft basics is helpful. Some of Sundqvist's art is so elaborate that it isn't immediately apparent that it's made of paper, such as her colorful homages to business and leisure, which were designed for display in a hotel. VERDICT Duplicating Sundqvist's more elaborate creations requires a steady hand and a good deal of skill, but there are plenty of easier projects in this collection that could serve as a stepping-stone to more complex paper crafting.
