Book Reviews of Bazaar Bizarre : Not Your Granny's Crafts!
Book Review: NOT a book filled with crafty projects
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm so annoyed with my purchase of this book. There are very few projects and it's hard to give much credit to the few crafts that the book does contain. All this book really leaves for the reader is lots of musings... and the title gives no indication that we're purchasing a couple hundred pages of personal nostalgia and musings about crafting. If you are questioning the quality of this book at all check out the abysmally low used/resale prices compared to other craft books of this genre. I hate to say it but this book stinks. I really wish I could give it a better review but I've just been trying to figure how to dump this thing.
A MUCH MUCH better book to check out that has tons of inspiring crafts and an appropriate quantity of interesting musings is Super Crafty: Over 75 Amazing How-to Projects.
Summary of Bazaar Bizarre : Not Your Granny's Crafts!
The desire to stand out with quirky, handmade, one-of-a-kind fashion has created a huge new crowd of hip young crafters hungry for ideas. In Bazaar Bizarre, Greg Der Ananian, founder of the bicoastal craft fair of the same name, combines a variety of how-to projects from radical crafters on his bazaar circuit. Speaking to everyone from alternateens to hipster thirtysomethings with an irreverent retro-chic attitude, this book is for those looking to put an edge on the things that grandma used to make. Bazaar Bizarre offers smart, subversive inspiration unavailable from traditional crafting books and patterns, appealing not only to the nostalgia for folk expression of previous generations, but also to the popular DIY attitude of the young and stylish. From silk painting to quilting and bookbinding, projects such as Anarchy Soap and Vinyl Record Cuffs teach basic skills of popular crafts and offer tips on how to creatively customize with thrift store purchases. Readers will love Der Ananian?s sardonic commentary, ?Craftoids,? about the history of crafting, punk- rock crosswords, funky finger-food recipes, and musical play lists.Book Subjects
