Review:Still have this book-I bought it after reading many reviews and recommendations. The book came in good condition, good descriptions, pictures, and directions. Good buy for anyone who wants to make handmade books first timer or experienced artist ?. I have taken classes for handmade books before-I just needed a book to remind of what I learned and more ideas. I recommend getting a nice sturdy storage box to save found materials to use for ideas in the book-clearance and garage sales too- It's add... Read more
Review:My elementary school age daughters love this book. They are able to do most of the activities with no or minimal help, except for buying a few simple supplies and ingredients, although we have most of what is needed lying around the house. The great part of this book is how independent and capable my girls are when doing the exercises, although in their zeal they can use up the last of certain products - such as my teen girls' hair conditioner (they weren't happy!), so you might want to make som...

Review:What a wonderful coloring book, and what a great value. I was very impressed by the quality of the pictures included therein. Not only do we get to color some of the greatest artworks by the greatest painters; we also get color representations of each picture., and a short biography of each painter. Each painting is on a single page of fairly heavy paper so that the following picture will not be destroyed.
I fell in love with this book when I opened it and expect to enjoy numerous hours of co... Read more
Review:Jan Berry's books are well planned, clearly written, thoughtful, and concise. This is not the first book of hers that I have purchased and each one is a gift. Each recipe is tried and true and always work. They are interesting and use ingredients that are readily available, or give more common suggestions if more exotic ingredients are listed. Generous book. Read more
Review:I have been making papier mache animals and fish for many years. Always the problem of getting the figure thoroughly dry. And if that summer was rainy, I was in trouble. We sold them to raise money for a children's regatta. Jonni Good's Recipe is a breakthrough and so easy. Thank you Jonni. Read more
Review:This book is a fun way to learn about calligraphy, but it definitely leans towards “modern” handwriting. Perfect for learning how to write girly cards, canvases, etc. Pages of the book are a little thin. Read more
Review:The book itself is awesome. However. It arrived with some weird stains all over the sides. I’m really bummed bc even the cover is nice. But the stains won’t come off and this is a Christmas gift. :( Read more
Review:This book is a great addition to my library. Beyond basic serging I needed to be schooled. This book is very helpful in that regard. I look forward to trying some of the techniques in the book. It is written well and the information is easy to understand. Read more
Review:This book is simple to follow, but produces so many great animal shadows. It's great for all ages. My favorite part about it though is that each shadow comes with a cute little poem about the animal you are showing, making it even more entertaining. This was an excellent purchase, especially for the price. Read more
Review:I didn't even know coloring books for adults were a thing until my boyfriend told me about it. For Christmas I bought him this coloring book and another one plus colored pencils. The other night we were coloring together, him out of his Star Wars book and me out of the other one, and I was a little envious of his Star Wars pictures so I decided to get one for myself. I know I will really enjoy this book when it comes in. Read more
