The book contains many full color photographs to guide you through each project step by step. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. I've already made the hypertufa planters and stepping stones. The author also included numerous photos (and website links) of other artists' works. I found this book to be ...             Creative Cloth Doll Making: New Approaches for Using Fibers, Beads, Dyes, and Other Exciting Techniques27 reviews Patti Medaris Culea Quarry Books, 2003 Creative, modern ideas in this book. This is the second Culea book I've purchased, and I got this one primarily because I really like her first one. I'm new to doll making so I find the patterns and suggestions very helpful to get the creative juices flowing. This book also has a doll pattern as well as instructions for creative embellishments. One caveat: While this book is great for me as a beginning doll "artist", I don't ...             Creative Decision Making Using Positive Uncertainty: Second Edition (A Fifty-Minute Series)3 reviews H.B. Gelatt Crisp Learning, 2003 Positive Uncertainty Opens Doors to New Opportunities Several years ago, I was laid off from my job and very perplexed about what direction to take. Someone suggested I read Creative Decision Making Using Positive Uncertainty, an extremely thought provoking book which proved to be a guiding framework that helped me make some critical career decisions. While I initially felt handicapped by the uncertainty in my life, the realistic anecdotes and ...             Making Pearls: Living the Creative Life2 reviews Jeanne Carbonetti Watson-Guptill, 2001 Excellent This is not a how to book, but rather an exploration of the creative process. Well written, insightful and inspiring!             The Creative Entrepreneur: A DIY Visual Guidebook for Making Business Ideas Real1 review Lisa Sonora Beam Quarry Books, 2008 Common sense that pops! I was skeptical. But, then I found that this book is a real motivator. Fun to read, fun to look at, but with a serious mission: how can business owners like me blend creativity and business success? The book goes on to answer that question. Our small web company deals with the un-bending requirements of accounting/distribution systems with the softer, yet stronger, notions of creative ...             Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling10 reviews Andy Crouch IVP Books, 2008 An Important Guide to Making Something of Your World Yep, this is another five-star review of Andy Crouch's remarkable work. I simply can't help it. "Culture Making" is excellent. It's highly readable while also being intellectually challenging. It's thorough and comprehensive without feeling bulky or awkward. It's thoughtful, memorable, and actionable. It's one of those rare (and timeless) books that is both something you should read and ...             Creative Card Making for Scrapbookers (Memory Makers)3 reviews Memory Makers, 2004 love to craft I am pleased I bought this book to add to my collection. The ideas are good and offers interesting suggestions to break our of your routine of making your usual cards. I have made and adapted a number of the cards and constanstly received rave reviews from the reciptants of my cards. Great buy, worth the money, have no problem recommending this book!             Creative Kinetics: Making Mechanical Marvels in Wood3 reviews Rodney Frost Sterling, 2008 A homeschool gem This book is great for exactly the same reason that the other two reviewers *didn't* like it. It is written for kids. And very well written at that. It has simple explanations and do-able projects (there are some more advanced ones as well). Kinetic toys have great potential for introducing many subjects: wind toys--> environmental science, kinetics--> physics, design--> art and art history, ...             In the Making: Creative Options for Contemporary Art History Classes/Creative Options for Studio Art Classes Linda Weintraub Distributed Art Pub Inc (Dap), 2003             Making Creative Cloth Dolls2 reviews Marthe Le Van Lark Books, 2002 Excellent primer for art dolls in fabric I made the mistake of buying an art doll magazine while out on an "artist date" not too long ago. As if I didn't already have enough projects going in many different directions, that got me hooked into the fascinating world of art dolls. These are not your standard Raggedy Anne dolls! Ms. LeVan has provided a great resource to start dabbling in the world of art dolls if your medium of choice ...             Making and Keeping Creative Journals4 reviews Suzanne J.E. Tourtillott, Suzanne Tourtillott Lark Books, 2002 Making & Keeping Creative Journals This is a lovely and inspirational book for making interesting journals. I was pleased to see that the projects in this book were fresh--not the same old thing, revisited. The photographs and examples are so beautiful I found myself thinking, "I want to make this one and this one and this one..." This is probably not the best book for beginning book makers. I would describe myself as an ...             The Complete Book of Candles: Creative Candle-Making, Candleholders and Decorative Displays3 reviews Gloria Nicol Lorenz Books, 2000 Can't imagine it being more complete. I aspire to make my own candles for special occasions. I picked up this book because it looks like the only one I'll need. It takes you from candle-making (rolled, dipped or moulded) to candle decorating and when you're done with that, you learn to make your own candlesticks, candelabras, pots, holders, lanterns, sconces, and chandeliers. When you're done with THAT, you can create stunning ...             Creative Collage: Making Memories in Mixed Media2 reviews Marie Browning Sterling, 2008 Marie Browning Rocks! Leave it to Marie to define "Collage", and explain in detail all of the goods that goes into them. As a beginning "altered art", "collage" artist, I am happy with her book more than any other because she tells me what to use, and how to use it!             Candles: Illuminating Ideas for Creative Candle-Making and Enchanting Displays2 reviews Gloria Nicol Lorenz Books, 1999 Creative Ideas Galore! I knew I had to have this book the minute I browsed through it. It not only gives you tons of creative ideas, but sparks your creativity to come up with ideas on your own. This is not a step-by-step "how to" book. It's more of a decorating and idea guide. I loved the carved squash and gourds. You better believe my house will be filled with them next fall. I also loved the simple ...             Making the Creative Leap Beyond...1 review H. Tammy Safter E. Paul Torrance Creative Education Foundation Press, 1999 Great for changing the way you look at things! I used this book in a college course and it was great! Our professor was friends with the author so he had a lot of inside advice to go along with it, but even without that, the book helped us understand new concepts in becoming more creative. I didn't think I had a creative bone in my body, but this helped me realize anyone can be creative if they look at it the right way and explore these ...             Creative Bead Jewelry: Weaving, Looming, Stringing, Wiring, Making Beads6 reviews Carol Taylor Sterling, 1995 This is One Great Book! Overall, I really liked this book. The photography is great, with many pictures taking up entire pages (great if you're interested in detail). There is a lot of variety in terms of projects; all the standard jewelry items (necklaces, bracelets, pins, barettes, and earrings) are included, and though the book is not written specifically for any one technique, it does a great job of explaining ...             Making Creative Mobiles5 reviews Timothy Rose AuthorHouse, 2007 surprising mobile I read Tim Rose's book in an afternoon and built my first mobile with things laying about. I turned out the light to leave for the day, and when I looked back into the room, my mobile was dancing in the moonlight. What a good book.             Making Creative Schedules Work in Middle and High Schools Elliot Y. Merenbloom, Barbara A.
