There could be a little more instruction for some of the projects. ( ) A godawful careless mess of a book. It can't seem to make up its mind whether the authors are mocking or celebrating kitsch, or simply reprinting tedious pages of technical instructions about crotcheting. I think I could have used their source material to create a better book with one hand tied behind my back and a fever of 101. no reviews | add a review
It's fun, it's retro—and it's back in style. Take a fond look back at the kitschy crafts of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, from crocheted doilies to shell-art nightlights. All these nostalgic creations appear in appropriately fashioned period settings that will captivate browsers, and come with instructions for those who just can’t resist creating their own string-art pictures, pink flamingo items, far-out tie dyes, kooky candles, macram#65533; plant hangers, and the one-time must-have on every coffee table: a resin-cast grape cluster. And, of course, who can live without the hottest toy of all? The Sock Monkey Doll. Everyone will have a blast poring over these—even those who have never made a craft in their lives.
