Book Review of The Big-Ass Book of Crafts

The Big-Ass Book of Crafts
beebs avatar reviewed on


A wonderful collection of crafts pretty much anyone can do (though much of it is funky and just for fun).

Mark Montano has an easy style that gives you permission to play and discover what works for you. He doesn't go deep with details, but gives enough information that most people could complete the projects they are interested in. I think his greater hope, though, is that readers will be inspired to take his ideas and use them as a springboard. For those who aren't comfortable crafting or experimenting with art techniques, this may feel frustrating. But if you embrace the "everyone is an artist" philosophy you will love these books for their inspiration alone.
