I might try that drag art! I have a couple of blank canvases that I’d bought to hang in my ‘craft room’……a year ago. :p I wanted to do something simple and colorful just to get something UP, so this would be perfect. …plus my 4 year old can do one too, thus eliminating small fingers ending up in my project.

I forgot to put my suggestion for next months book on my posted project. I think was should try “Bazaar Bizarre: Not Your Granny’s Craft Book “. I seen it at Barnes and Nobles and would be interested in checking it out.

Ack! So annoyed that we thought the deadline was Sept. 13, not 3rd! Too bad… For something completely different, a book like “Lotta Prints” could be a good craft book club selection. We’ve noticed a lot of people are interested in printing, and that book’s very accessible–everything from potato printing to screen printing…

I’m also still waiting on a library copy. For future book clubs love to see a schedule of books posted — selfishly because I want to participate and it can take a long time to get the books, especially in this case where I’m using the state-wide ILL system. Having a schedule will let me plan ahead and hopefully be able to participate.

great review, by the way! I love book reviews – adding crafting in the mix and it’s bliss!

I only just got it from the library, so no project to share. I definitely agree that a crafter could sit down with a beverage and a comfy chair and mark several projects to pursue.

Here are some I think I would like:

* I love the drag art (p.6) since you can do it with kids and still get a “home worthy” project. (“home worthy” is big for me too.)
* I think I might also like to try the David Hockney photo collage (p.16).
* CD Jewel Case notebook (p.48) would solve a lot of my crumpled paper in the purse issues.
* Ultrasuede leaf coasters – do you think they work?

I’ve only gotten to the correspondence section.

I like that these crafts are more “edgy” and less “folksy” – does that make sense? It’s bold and in your face and not wallflower quiet. I wouldn’t consider all of it “home worthy” though.

I think cc makes a really good point regarding supplies. For example, my grandmother’s hometown is a sizable college town with a graduate school and a 4-year college. The next Kinko’s is 83 miles away; the next Staples 67 miles.

I live in New York and for me to get to Michaels involves a $10 bridge toll in one direction, or an hour drive in the other direction.
