First came indie rock bands and indie movies. Now, thanks to Jessica Vitkus, the indie movement has reached the world of crafts, where traditional techniques such as knitting, mosaic, embroidery, metalwork, sewing, and collage are being used in brave new ways.With an emphasis on recycling, improvising, and making things from scratch, AlternaCrafts offers more than 20 projects that provide this newest generation of crafters with the skills they need for the self-expression they crave.

A neat book that I think I might buy. Full of funky and unique ideas for turning your old stuff into new stuff. Utlizing items like your old sweater, bottle caps, buttons, or napkins- you create items to decorate everything from you, your house, your friends, and your friend's house! ( )

Excellent book. Now I know what to do with all my bottle caps. ( )

A great resource for anyone who loves crafting. Make necklaces from bottle caps and washers. The difficulty ratings and shopping lists make this great for planning programs. ( )
