Complete Pleats: Pleating Techniques for Fashion, Architecture and Design Review: Start or Re-start Here - If you work with sheet material such as paper, cloth, metal, or plastics, Paul Jackson is happy to show you what it can do. And you will be happy to learn that it can do more than you thought. "Complete Pleats" presents the possibilities in Jackson's visually clean style. He explains every step,building from the simplest fold to "accordion across knife" and "twists in combination". The diagrams give you an immediate sense of what is required, and the photos show you an excellent version of the technique. As soon as you start folding a new lesson, you will notice how the material responds, how it works, and you will think that this could lead to something really cool. You will be right. It looks like a book, but it is really a diving board. Mr. Jackson invites you to launch yourself and your projects with fresh energy and possibilities. I have some of his previous books. I expect this one will become as traveled and worn as the others. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do. Review: Excellent book by an expert on the topic - Beautiful photos. Clever organization. Excellent writing. Opened me up to this world of folding. And opens possibilities. Great book for a craftsman, artist, maker.

Fascinating and nerdy, in the best possible way.
I could (And probably will) spend months going through this book. An invaluable resource for both fiber and paper artists. Great illustrations, and just enough text.

Love this book
Love this book! It is fun, creative and clearly written. As a painter I have been inspired by many of the examples found in this book. I gave this book to my sister who is a quilter. The possibilities are endless!

A nice addition to my paper folding library.
Wow a lot more examples and techniques that I imagined. Covers the basics and provides the background needed to start creating your own designs.
