Old craft books facinate me, they are something I collect. There's always something to try. This one is about paper sculpture and has a section on window display (Which is interesting to me as I was a window dresser back in the days when there were such things!)
This takes a circle.. any size, I've used the Sizzix scallop die and a few different sized scallop punches. With a a few scored lines using a circle cutter and a bit of manipulation a 3D flower can be formed

Amazing! I'd love to hear what it said about window display, as I too used to be one, in fact, I'm hoping to soon be one again. Although we are now called Visual Merchandisers, lol.
How cool! Love the owls eyes! x

Fabulous! Love the updated look of the owl, I bet the originator would be gobsmacked by the range of patterned papers we have at our disposal these days!

Wow! I have this book too! I am going up into the attic to get it now! Never thought I'd use it, but just kept it because it's so different.
Thank you for the refreshing way you've updated the designs - combining sizzix with paper sculpture, why didn't I think of it before. Now my imagination is fired up!
