Such a joyful make! I love the interactive elements and I really appreciated the information about paper grain and how to determine it.

Very specific, clear instructions. I especially liked the way Bel gave explanations for the choices she made, instead of just saying “do this, then this.” Also appreciated the options she suggested for various paper and colors, along with showing a variety of finished examples at the end.
