Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book (Interior Design) Customer Review: zohar (london)
wonderfull book. I did a lot of stuff from it and it has inspired me to be very crafty like i used to be years ago. the book don’t fit to beginners but will be great to craft lovers. many of my freinds will get gifts made from the book!
Customer Review: .
I was really looking forward to getting this book, but I have to say I was disappointed. It’s nicely presented & there are a couple of good ideas, but nothing particularly inspiring & a lot of the suggestions are completely useless…I doubt many of us need to make a sock puppet, let alone be told how to do it.

Modelling the Head in Clay (Practical Craft Books) (Practical Craft Books) Customer Review: Helpful for you who sculpture in clay
This book is a long joyful ride with photographs of an artwork in progress. The author take you along with one female bust from scratch to a ready bust in clay.
Bit by bit you can follow how he model the clay from a slab into a beautiful woman.
I will try to remake this head. The author gave me several new ideas on how to make a face in clay.
Helpful book for the cheramic artist.
Customer Review: Magnificent
Lucchesi has Italian origins and that pervades his sculptural style as well as his methods. Like the Renaissance artists, he begins by modelling the amazing bone structure in clay, then puts the skin tissue over it, finally creating the delicate surface details. Many beautiful photographs move from one minute step to the next. He worked in the USA and that influence is also betrayed in his unique genre. The effect of the book is total… you feel that you have been taken into the secret essence of the ancient process of clay sculpture. A great book… I hope it never goes out of print because it will speak delight and insight to countless future generations of sculptors.

The Wicca Bible: The Definitive Guide to Magic and the Craft Customer Review: Ok, depends on what you want
Whether this book will be useful to you depends on exactly what you want. If you want a basic explanation of some of its key practices, beliefs etc… then it’s a good book. It is very light and gentle, and gives a few ok examples of rituals.
However it goes into nothing in depth, so anyone with more than a passing interest in Wicca may well be disappointed. For the same reason it would be little use to an established Wiccan.
If you’re an interested beginner it’s not a bad book, but if you want depth or detail then you should look elsewhere.
Customer Review: The Wicca Bible
An invaluable resource for anyone beginning on or curious about the craft, Ann-Marie Gallagher has written this in an easy format suitable for any age of reader. Each chapter is in perfect syncronicity and flows onto the next just as the wheel of the year. Highly informative and accurate while being in the right centuary. Still wouldn’t be without mine! Blessed Be. )O(

Earthwise: Environmental Crafts and Activities with Young Children Customer Review: Excellent book giving environmental activites for children
I first picked up ‘Earthwise’ by Carol Petrash when visitng a friend, and after browsing through it, decided this book is a ‘must have’.
Divided into Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer, the book guides you through various crafts and activites appropriate to the season. All are related in some way to the world in which we live, and aim to increase childrens’ awareness of their natural environment. Ideas range from building a tepee, to cooking, drawing and painting. I particularly liked the gift section for Christmas, and the ideas for using apples during Autumn - particularly helpful if you have a glut of apples from a tree in your garden! Each activity is graded by age - many being suitable for children from 2 years of age. You are given a full list of everything you need and detailed instructions, and there are charming line drawings to illustrate to process.
I would recommend this book to any parent of pre-school or primary age children, and also to play group leaders and teachers as a valuable resource to enhance the learning experience of children.
