Bruce Foster's paper engineering is Perfecto! (see also Foster's, Little Red Riding Hood-Little Simon and The Princess and the Pea.) Foster's pop-ups not only evoke Ruffner's art but expresses her ideas on creativity itself. One does not have to see Ginny Ruffner's creative work first hand to experience it. As The Popuplady ([...] I consider a pop-up successful if the paper engineering enhances and amplifies an idea or illustration. In the Flowering Tornado, Foster has succeeded in doing so. The reader, through the interactivity of pop-ups, is part of the creative process, taking Ruffner's art to the next step. Congratulations to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts and to Ginny Ruffner for imagining her art in another art form, Pop-ups. Congratulations to Bruce Foster for successfully bringing that concept to fruition.

Ok, this book is not a tome by any means, being only 10 or so popups. But it is an inspirational book because of who Ginny Ruffner is. I recently saw the documentary a not so still life on a DVD and they mentioned this book. Since I love her art, I thought the book would be great and it is. I got a good used copy and it was well worth it. Now I'll have to track down a gallery with her art in it.
