a potpourri of nature crafts

interesting craft book. Has several different sections regarding various natural materials. Shells, feathers, leaves, pods, etc. This books is basically about different home decor items with a "natural" slant. You find your standard wreaths, flower pots, frames, topiaries, etc-but shows how to cover them with various natural materials. The projects all look top quality-you'd be happy to display as home decor without worrying if they looked "hokey"-but all these projects have been covered in many other craft books over the years-nothing seemed new or innovative. The directions are BASIC-pretty much written with few step by step instructions-a novice crafter may not understand the directions. Overall, beautiful "eye candy" for seasoned crafters looking for inspiration for "flower arrangement" type crafts. I'd suggest you buy used. 3.5 stars.
