If you're interested in producing your own Spirelli-style cards then this book shows you how to get startedIt'll teach you how to create your own notches with which to wind the thread around, techniques for actually winding the thread, and ideas aplenty on how best to incorporate thread designs into lovely greetings cards. What we especially like in this book though are the 'tabby cat' cards made by winding thick wool around the card notches to create a coat so realistic you'll be stroking it all day!
