Marie Browning has the Midas Touch when it comes to crafting. On my most cerebrbally challenged "daze" (I have a huge family, toddlers under three!) I can go to any of her books and choose a project that is both challenging and creative, add my own panache and have soemthing that is uniquely "Alouette." Look at her basic pocket accordion book! She has two different examples (business card and ...             Bead on a Wire: Making Handcrafted Wire and Beaded Jewelry94 reviews Sharilyn Miller North Light Books, 2005 WOW I recently decided to start making jewelry, got on Amazon and started looking at book reviews.

I guess it didn't go back into print because most people buy windows rather than make them. That is a shame, because this book is well written. I had first heard about it when I bought a set of Freud router bits for making window sashes. They said, "Get Make your own handcrafted doors and windows by John Birchard to learn how to make them. It is ...             Carving Snowmen & Santas: Handcrafted Originals for the Holidays3 reviews Mike Shipley Fox Chapel Publishing, 2000 Great carving book. Good patterns for beginners also. I really like this book. The layout is nice and the patterns are great. Some are easier to carve than others, as usual. However, some of the patterns are perfect for a beginner to tackle (I'm think mostly of the snowmen). Mike has a great carving style of his own and does a good job showing you step by step what he is trying to accomplish. If you like the subject matter then this is a great book ...             Handcrafted Pillows: Sew and Embellish Pillows in the Decorator Looks You Love4 reviews Linda Neubauer, Joanne Wawra Creative Publishing international, 2005 A set of some thirty projects achieved using five basic sewing styles Linda Neubauer and Joanne Wawra's Handcrafted Pillows: Sew And Embellish Pillows In The Decorator Looks You Love provides a set of some thirty projects achieved using five basic sewing styles.

Maybe Narducy of Evanston is kidding, but just to clarify for the kids in New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin--this IS the Jay Ryan based in Chicago, dude. And this book of his posters should grace the collection of any art student or indie music fan... ps. it would be great if Amazon would fix the typo in the title--it's "Decade," not "Secade."             Smart Soapmaking: The Simple Guide to Making Traditional Handmade Soap Quickly, Safely, and Reliably, or How ...34 reviews Anne L. Watson Shepard Publications, 2007 The Absolutely Best Book on Soapmaking Smart Soapmaking is far and away the best book on making soap at home. I have several other books on the subject which, for me, are far too complicated and scientific. They make the process seem far too daunting, to the point where you give up before you start. Anne Watson has thoroughly explained everything in simple yet practical terms and has taken away completely the fear factor. Her book ...             The Soul of a Tree: A Master Woodworkers Reflections7 reviews George Nakashima Kodansha International, 1988 Gorgeous and inspiring book Like the books of James Krenov, "The Soul of a Tree" is as much a book about philosophy as it is about wood. And it's a good philosophy: slow down, take your time, play with the wood, and enjoy it. The book is really about the soul of Nakashima. He outlines some of his own personal history and how he developed his ideas about craft. There's not really much on technique here - you can certainly ...             Early American Copper, Tin and Brass: Hand-Crafted Metalware from Colonial Times (Henry Kauffman Collection) ...1 review Henry J. Kauffman Astragal Press, 1995 Not a Bad Little Book Unfortunately, the author knows more than your average expert. When you correct someone and tell them it is a cramped joint not a dovetailed joint down the side of that pot, it's rough when he can site books considered tops in the field stating the contrary. Still the items shown are unique, the content informative and I am glad to have this book in my collection.             Log Construction Manual: The Ultimate Guide to Building Handcrafted Log Homes24 reviews Robert Wood Chambers Deep Stream Press, 2006 I wouldn't build with Logs without it! I own every book, set of DVD's and video tapes on how to build handcrafted log homes. The information that Robert has put into this book takes all the mystery away that all the others will leave you with. Some say it's too technical, but it really isn't. It is very concise and to the point. It is step by step from start to finish. No other book on log building says very much about sill logs. This ...             Sarah Lugg's The Handcrafted Wedding: Special Touches for the Perfect Day2 reviews Sarah Lugg Sterling/Chapelle, 2005 For the Artistic Bride When my daughter was preparing for her wedding last year, our crafty family was determined to do as much as possible with our own hands.

There are ...             HANDCRAFTED KNIVES: Masterpieces By American Knifemakers1 review Priuli & Verlucca, 1999 A Cut Above--Way Above! The problem with this lavish book is that it breeds expensive desire. I was not particularly a knife afficionado, but after reading this book and gazing at the photographs, I began lusting for a fine hand-crafted knife of the type so powerfully and poetically described and illustrated here, the type that can cost thousands of dollars each. There are many books aimed at cutlery connoisseurs, ...             FENTON handcrafted American Glass Artistry DELUXE SIGNATURE EDITION1 review The Fenton Art Glass Company Richardson Printing Corp., 2005 A Celebration of Fenton's First 100 years Signed by George W.

The finished samples shown are not as inspirational as, say, Frank Giorgini's "Handmade Tiles" samples, but they show the possible results of the techniques outlined in the book and are nice. Excellent ...             A Raft Around the Corner: And Other Stories To Keep You Going1 review David Pippenger HandCrafted Media Press, 2005 Superb collection of positive advice Way to go, Dave!

Thanks for putting this collection of short stories together.             Welcome Home: Consumer Guide to White Cedar Log Homes & Handcrafted Timber Homes1 review Dave Reed Town & Country Cedar Homes, 1999 Wow! What an Education At first I was sceptical of the 700 pages claim made by the author, but I soon realized that they included the CD-ROM with their page count. The CD is an enjoyable experience, but the real value for me was the 30 page insert: The Practical Guide for Understanding Wood Homes. This is the most educational book that I have read outside of Muir's Log Home Magazine. It speaks about the advantages ...             Papermaking for Kids: Simple Steps to Handcrafted Paper1 review Beth Wilkinson Topeka Bindery, 1997 it's a great book for kids This book is totally great for kids who are interested to learn things about papermaking.             Tradition and Beyond: Handcrafted Indian Textiles1 review Rta Kapur Chishti, Rahul Jain Roli Books, 2000 gorgeous modern textiles Love this book.
