Rock Art for Beginners is a detailed, short rock painting book. The books starts by discussing the tools needed and ways to "fix blemishes" or "sand/smooth" rocks and get started. The first sections are titled "Tools and Materials" and "Selecting and Prepping Rocks." The book continues into 4 design sections: Mandalas, Patterns, Animals, and Nature. This book is full of lots of good step-by-step patterns to paint for yourself. I found quite a few I'd like to try (flowers, turtle, and feather to name a few). This book is a great start to rock painting. Would be a good gift for a creative family member or friend....more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this collection of quilt patterns! As I was reading, I was like oh, I love this one, it's my fav!... then turn the page and oooh, this one is my fav!
Bottom line: This book is full of beautiful colorful quilt patterns for different holidays and seasons. I especially loved the Christmas season ones. I believe this book's photos are very inspiring as a crafter, and though I'm not very experienced in quilting, I think I could make most of them with the information provided.
Classic & Colorful Patchwork and Applique Quilt Patterns is clearly labeled with a contents page detailing each of the 24 patterns. Then each quilt pattern section includes a list of necessary supplies along with the pattern itself. Each quilt section has plenty of photos and step by step directions.
I'd label the patterns as "easy or uncomplicated"- perfect for all quilters, no matter their experience. As an extra, in the back of the book, general instructions on quilting are included- basting, quilting, appliquéing, etc.
I would love to add this book to my collection. Also would make a great gift to your quilter friends/family members....more

This book "Wreath Making for all Occasions" is a nice collection ~~~ I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review ~~~
This book "Wreath Making for all Occasions" is a nice collection of 12 wreath ideas. I found a few wreaths I'd personally like to make- the Lavender Summer Heart wreath and the Winter Wonderland pinecone wreath are my two favorites! This book offers lovely pictures of each wreath and clear directions on how to make them, including the necessary materials. I think this book would be a great addition to any crafter's bookshelf or library....more
