5-0 out of 5 stars Best on the Market
This is far and above the best book I've encountered for New Scrappers.Instead of just showing layouts, explanations are there to show why a layout works, how to do it and simplifies the mystique behind all the necessary tools and not so necessary tools.I wish I had bought this book before spending money on stuff I didn't really need.You won't regret this purchase if you are a beginner and it also makes a great gift for someone thinking about scrapping.Guaranteed to rev your creativity.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great information for the beginner
If you are new or fairly new to scrapbooking, this book will help you with organization, picture taking, details about products you will need and conservation and storage.The book also includes stencils and templates which can be removed and used on photos and cardstock.The spiral binding is an added plus because the book lays flat when open. Well worth the purchase price.

5-0 out of 5 stars Scrapbook Teacher
This is a great book encompassing every aspect of scrapbooking for the beginner and experienced crafter. It's easy to read and understand, offering a great deal of layouts. I couldn't put it down. This book will definitely take the fear out of beginning scrapbookers and challenge others to try new techniques. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Making pieced curves simple
Very informative and easy to follow directions.Makes you want to start immediately to make a quilt.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very informative but expensive
This is a good book not only for the beginners but also for advanced quilters.It will give you a few original quilting ideas with original designs.I found the chapter or color/light theory very informative and useful.On the negative site I found the book rather expensive which prvents me from giving it five stars.Amazon discount is certainly very helpful...

5-0 out of 5 stars Pieced Curves really is so simple
I found Dale Flemings book well thought out and visually engaging.The projects demonstrate the inovative techniques well. For the more adventuresome she does a great job of sharing her methods of coming up with original designs. Using her techniques you can piece anything you can think up. She has a great color sense. I enjoyed the wide variety quilts shown also.Its a great book for inspiration. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for building upon different techniques
This book is a totally practical guide to surface design. The step by step pictures of the processes are particularly helpful. The finished items where the author has built up a cloth through her repertoire of techniques are inspirational.

5-0 out of 5 stars Buy this first
If you are just getting into dyeing fabric or already have got your feet blue and orange and green from spills, this book holds lots of tips and tricks and just plain "how to".Dunnewold's book can be read and used as a reference or browsed and used as a stimulus for "what can I do today?"Organized well, straight forward text and good explanations.Get some dye and make your cloth complex...layers and layers and layers of lovely.

5-0 out of 5 stars Must have for fabric artists
Terrific book and I've taken 4 of her classes.She keeps on coming up with ideas--enough for another book or two.This is an excellent resource and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in surface design on fabric. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars good for learning the basics
excellent and easy to understand.this book is well written and really helps with learning basic fusing/slumping techniques.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners and advanced glass fusers
A great book with a lot of helpful advice. It's not too technical and easy to understand. I've shared it with my other glass fusing peers and each of us learned something different from it. It's a short book and some of the projects are a little outdated but I did great ideas from seeing them.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good basic review book
If you are just starting out (like you've had a class, get home, and say to yourself "now what do I do"?), this is a really good book to have on hand.It is an older book, true, so some of the kiln options, etc. are a bit dated.But the techniques of finding out if your glass is compatible or the annealing process are still very valid.There's much to be learned from this book, especially if you want the comfort of a good resource on your shelf and available. ...

This book was good but not terrific. after reading best sellers like Why we want you to be rich by Donald TRump and God Doesn't run a $2 Shop by Sage Saint Francis i found that this book just was not in the same leauge.
5-0 out of 5 stars It ain't changed in the Boardroom
This book, taken with due care, is still the Bible for how to dress for success. There have been some contemporary changes in business dress. But if you are not a rock star or a computer whiz, don't bet your career that dressing like one will get you to the Executive Suite.
1-0 out of 5 stars A dandy is a flash chap
A "dandy" was in the 19th century a man who dressed in the latest styles. For example, he was careful to wear a top hat and thunder and lightning trousers in the 1840s.

This book is both inspiring and practical.Many, many wonderful pictures to look at for inspiration and patterns for creating your own!I have already dog eared my pages!!

5-0 out of 5 stars SO WORTH IT
Beautiful examples, innovative approaches and inspiring photos. Get it, you won't be sorry!

5-0 out of 5 stars Everything you want to know about paperdoll history & creation
I waited eagerly for this book to be published, as I have been fascinated with the art paperdoll phenomenon on eBay and elsewhere (Claudine Hellmuth's "poppets," for example).This book has more than satisfied my hopes.The author, Terry Taylor, has organized the book in an unusual way, mixing three main elements throughout - the history of paper dolls, fabulous art dolls made by himself and other artists, and projects one can do oneself at any skill level.Instead of plowing through the obligatory history chapters before getting to the inspirational part, the book slides a brief but solid history of paper dolls in with the contemporary art and the project ideas.

3-0 out of 5 stars Maybe I'm a slow learner, but...not simple enough
I was very determined to teach myself to knit, having gotten into knitting using cheater devises like Knifty Knitters.This book looked to have clear pictures at a quick glance, and I had high hopes for it.I can't say it completely let me down---I did learn how to knit and purl, but I can almost say I did so in spite of the book's instructions.They seemed to skip really explaining a few crucial things, and the clear photos unfortunately didn't really show these things either.I don't know the technical term, but the book didn't really talk about or show well the step of sliding the yarn off the left needle after doing the wrapping around part.I was trying hard to knit without doing this, and was frustrated nothing seemed to actually get knit.I figured it out more or less by trial and error.
5-0 out of 5 stars Beginning Knitters
I knew basic knit and purl stitches before seeing this book but was intimidated by anything more difficult.This book does a fantastic job of organizing knitting stitches and techniques to make it very easy to follow.It spells it out step by step and has helped me move beyond the basics!Highly recommended!

5-0 out of 5 stars New Knitter

5-0 out of 5 stars Nice book
I am happy with this book. It has some example patterns and then a bunch of stitch patterns so you can create your own once you are comfortable with shawl making.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great shawl book
This is the only shawl book I have that I have almost made every one in the book.There are such great, well-written shawl patterns in here.If you want to do a lacy fabulous looking shawl and are an intermediate knitter, this is the book to let you get the "wow" reaction from family and friends. ...

This little book shows a great variety of glass beads. I am amazed what some people can do with soft glass. The book is filled with wonderful color photos of completed jewelry. For the price it is a great value.

5-0 out of 5 stars VERY inspiring for all artists!
I'm actually a polymer clay artist, and I've gotten more out of this book than *any* other book I've purchased/read in the never-ending quest to inspire and improve my work. There aren't any instructions or biographies, just huge, detailed photos of many, many glass beads, and some information on technique and materials.

3-0 out of 5 stars Cute if you're 25 and into rummage sale vintage
This is definately for beginning or very basic seamstresses.If you like the thrift store-chic look (and I am talking thrift store- old 80's stuff and granny shoes) this is great.If you like a little more sophistication and style, probably not your best option.

1-0 out of 5 stars trailer trash clothing design
I have to say, I was looking forward to a book full of ideas on how to recycle and reuse textiles into fun, fashionable new creations. Well, maybe the basic sewing instructions are helpful, honistly I didn't read them. I went straight for the projects and boy was I horribly disappointed! They all look tacky, sloppily made with unfinished edges and threads hanging out everywhere. As said by another reviewer, I'm not sure these would be the women I would want teaching me how to sew! And as for the project ideas themselves, nothing new or innovative in their ideas. In my opinion, just tacky, shoddy projects that most folks would be embarassed to wear. This book is going back.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fun, no pressure learning
Great book!The authors definately accomplish their goal of helping us "find our own fashion".While they aren't delivering "haute couture" (i.e., boring!) they do have tons of quick, easy projects that give the inner artist immediate gratification.As this book is geared at teens/young adults the casual format makes a very user friendly impact. The projects purposefully target economical supplies that most anybody has around the house (good for moms and dads!)Good introductory tool for the beginner.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for Reference!
This book is really thorough and easy to use...It's simple and concise tone makes it more accessible than other knitting books I've purchased. I really reccomend it for beginners like me who tend to panic with every new knitting term we encounter, and every mistake we're not sure is reversible.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for your knitting bag!!!
This is absolutely the BEST and MOST PORTABLE knitting reference I have ever seen! It took me a little time to get used to the Q&A format, but every question does indeed address simple to advanced dilemmas with real solutions that actually work. A really good value!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Tips
I have at least 3 other books that I bought as references to learn everything that's included in this one little one and, as other other reviewers have noted, it is easy to carry with you.I am a fairly experienced knitter, but my finishing was never that great.My projects now look noteably more professional using the tips/instructions in here and sometimes I open it up just to read! ...

This is a really interesting way of making quilts.Just one fabric and each hexagon is completely different.The hard part comes in arranging the pieces properly. This takes quite a bit of rearranging on a design wall.

5-0 out of 5 stars Newly Obsessed
I bought this book 3 weeks ago and I have been so pleased with it.At first, you might think this is just an extension of Stack 'N Whack, but it isn't. The only similarity is the pinning technique which is essentially the same.The differences are in what Maxine Rosenthal does with the blocks that result and in the types of fabrics she uses. I'm about to complete my first quilt from this book and I already have others planned. I highly recommend it. ... Read more

This book is nothing short of fantastic.I've knit several of the patterns in this book, and have found no mistakes and no disappointments.There are socks for every experience level, from beginner to the most advanced.Variety abounds, and choices are plentiful.
5-0 out of 5 stars Patterns That Delight!!
I am a fairly experienced knitter. This book provides more inspiration than I have seen in a knitting book for a while.Beginners should look at these patterns to get an idea of why knitting is worth pursuing. Yu can always approach local yarn shops for technical help and good company!These are beautiful expressed design ideas.After all, we all want to knit something we cherish and this book offers a realm of great possibility. It's hard to find interesting patterns. Yay! for Knitter's Magazine!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for learning and then knitting lots of socks
I bought this book in order to not have to run-to-the-yarn-store every time I knit a Christmas stocking for a member of my family, which is not too often.This book is great for teaching the knitter about the different parts of a sock, such as the heel, the gusset, how to "turn" the sock, etc. I am currently knitting socks with each part of the sock being a different color; an instructional sock(s). Also, as the title says, there are a great deal of varieties of socks to knit, which I haven't started yet. A great book for beginner of socks. ... Read more

This book has so many great projects. Who know that Polymer Clay could be so gorgeous.

5-0 out of 5 stars Inspirational
A quick thumb through told me this book was going to become my new favorite. The projects are quite inspirational and I found myself continuously saying "I have to try that". There could have been a few more step by step pictures, but the written instructions are clear and easy to follow so I can understand why they were left out. I was impressed that many projects were easy enough for beginners, yet there are others that will grab the more advanaced clayers like myself. The polymer clay basic section was short and sweet. That was another big plus in my eyes. I already have a couple dozen books that cover the basics, more basic, and yet more basics. This book is a definite must have for your personal libray!

5-0 out of 5 stars buy this one now!
buy it for your polymer clay friends - while the author doesn't have any projects of her own in the book, she's assembled some killer pieces from some of the best known and loved PC artists into the book of the year. this book was the talke of 2 PC retreats I've attended in the past month - great photos, clear instructions, and interesting new techniques like using colored TLS to created glass and celadon china like finishes ...

5-0 out of 5 stars I've been waiting for a book like this
Although I didn't pay cover price through [...] this book by Paul Andrew Wandless is well worth every penny. The information in this book is priceless. If you've ever wondered how to print on clay, this is the book to buy. This will be my go-to book of choice when I need a step-by-step tutorial on how to print on clay.

4-0 out of 5 stars I never knew...
I have this romantic notion that one day I will retire from the Army, settle down somewhere nice, and tend my bee hives filled with gentle bees, reaping in gallons of sweet, liquid gold.Like I said, it's a romantic notion.What this book clearly states is that there is more to successfully operating an apiary than harvesting the honey a few times a year.It's science and agriculture.It's care and preservation.It's timing and careful planning.But this book didn't scare me away from my notions, rather it provided me with the critical information I'll need to successfully care for my own colony of bees.I get excited just thinking about the possibilities.The book is clearly laid out, informative, and comprehensive in scope.I recommend it for a beginner, like me, or someone who wants a good, well-rounded resource guide on beekeeping.

3-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good resource, but not the bee all, end all...
I used this book as my only reference for starting my career as a backyard beekeeper. I find it very helpful and it is a good reference but it's also rather incomplete.I got my bees in Nucs not boxes and there wasn't much that a beginner needed to understand the differences. Also, when I checked my hives for the first time, I realized that this book is lacking a lot of what looks normal and what doesn't; there are only a few photos, mostly not very useful.Why doesn't the book tell you to smoke yourself and the bees to help prevent stings? Why isn't there info about using sugar water in addition to smoke to help you when in the hive? Now that I'm started I wish that there was a volume II with more detail to help me at the next level.
3-0 out of 5 stars Great beginners book
This is a great "first" book. It is excellent for explaining the parts of a hive, terminology, etc., in a very readable manner, and I love the cartoons. But you must also read other books as well. The more you read, the more you'll be able to separate "opinion" from "hard fact." "The New Starting Right with Bees" etc. are excellent first-year companions to "Beekeeping for Dummies." If you start with this book, you'll be on your way; if you stop with it, you will be in a sorry state. ... Read more

Editorial Review

"Relax. Don't Worry. Have a home-brew." It's the mantra of home-brewing, a phrase that nods to the technical aspects of brewing only as it dismisses all stress with a sip and a smile. Home-brewing is Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars The standard intro for those starting out
This book is the standard for those starting out. It is often included in brewing kits and covers brewing in a broad manor. Charlie's motto is to relax, don't worry, have a home brew. This is very good advice. Most of what we do while brewing can be done in many ways and the processes have a high tolerance for variations.
5-0 out of 5 stars The bible of homebrewing
If your interested in homebrewing, this book is the place to start.I've read it cover to cover several times over the years and have used it as reference many times.It's easy to understand for a beginner and is where i learned the most important phrase of homebrewing, "relax and have a homebrew".

4-0 out of 5 stars All you ever wanted to know about home brewing.
I got interested in home brewing last fall ('03) and went to a shop that specializes in equipment and kits.From there, I wanted to get into learning more about the process and devining my own concoctions.This book is a recommended upgrade to their beginners kit and I purchased it later after brewing a kit or two.After reading this book, I am very confident that I know what to do to get the tastes out of the different breeds of hops and grain mixtures.This book actually goes a little further than I needed it to, as it goes into the chemical processes with the different ions in the water, and such as that.However, if you are a beginner brewer and want to delve into your own creations, this is where to go.It's a great work to set you on the right track.It has everything you WANT to know and some that you could probably care less about, but worth adding to the shelf if you enjoy the hobby. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars No more hesitation!
After viewing amazing art quilts for years at fairs and exhibits, I wanted an attempt at my own. This book was recommended in more than one place, so I chose it along with three other art quilt books. This, by far, has been the most useful tool in my new hobby of machine quilting. Ms. Noble makes it easy to follow each of the steps to get you quilting. One part of this book that stands out is the small tips & hints peppered throughout her succinct text. Also, I am sure the threads and materials grids have saved me hundreds of dollars in "testing" thread and accessories.
