Book Reviews of Bags with Paper and Stitch: Innovative Surface Techniques for Embellishing Bags

Book Review: Great ideas, good techniques
Summary: 5 Stars

My intention to stop buying books about making stuff took a nose dive with this one. I own about every one published, and need no more - would need two more lifetimes just to do the techniques from the ones I already have. However, after leafing through it in a bookstore, I came home and ordered it on Amazon and am glad I did. I just plain like it and have gotten some new ideas. I probably won't make bags, but will translate the techniques into small art quilts and perhaps other little pieces of art. Well done - nicely photographed, and certainly I would put this on top of any "to buy" list of art/craft books. The book is certainly a good deal more than you might expect from the title. I would suggest taking a look at it before thinking you might not want to make bags from paper - this book is way more than that.
