I’m having a lot of fun with art and craft books, right now. Even when I don’t absolutely love the books I’m reading and playing with, it’s fun.
Like Craft-a-Day: 365 Simple Handmade Projects. Nice cover. Nice, big book. Total impulse pick up from the library. Turns out it’s not so much 365 projects but a couple dozen projects done with 52 different themes. So, a little stuffed felt animal/item every week. Same method of creation, just a different template. Simple and pretty boring.
Most of the people on GoodReads panned this book, because it’s just the same thing over and over. That was my feeling as well. But… this wouldn’t be a bad book to have on your shelf, for simple templates or to hand to a bored child who wants to DO something.
A better book, in my opinion, is Zentangle untangled. I loved it. I want a Zentangle kit. I want the Zentangle workbook. I need a better pencil and a much better black pen!
I had Craft-a-Day out from the library last month. Cute templates but yeah, it was kind of boring.
yeah, I need it too. going to order. that will be fun on the ship maybe, during downtime. instead of just reading, you know?
