This book quite the treat: the graphic design and layout, the quirky craft ideas, the photography, the attitude. There are lots of different types of crafts represented, which appealed to me, but if you're less of a dilettante of craft, might mean you don't have the materials/knowledge necessary to do all the patterns. I haven't tried any of the patterns yet so I can't speak to how easy the instructions are to follow, but I feel like the book's worth it regardless just because it's so fun. Interesting book, and glad to have it on my craft shelf. I probably won't make any of the patterns because the ones I like just seem like too much work to make or are in a craft that I don't care to try. It's so great to see unusual, off the wall craft books, though. I'm so heartily sick of cutesy, pastel coloured, floofy little pretties. Give me something with some grit to it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Knitting, beading and stitching projects to make - or not. Whatever. If you would describe your favorite crafts as "supercute" - no, let us rephrase: If the idea of handcrafting the most nauseatingly adorable plush bunny you've ever seen sets your heart atwitter - feel free to stop reading. We'll understand. Really. If you're still reading, you may be cynical and fed up with syrupy crafts as we are. (Huzzah!) For you and your likeminded AntiCraftspeople, we have hand-selected twenty-five projects from the most talented crafters you'll never find in the mainstream (whatever that even means). Behold: Creations your goody-goody little sister will roll her eyes at, including snake-motif thigh-highs and a duct-tape corset. Tips and sidebars to celebrate (with as much enthusiasm as any of us can muster) your delightfully dark nature, including suggested mood-enhancers (soundtracks, movies, etc.) for making each and every item. Basic techniques for knitting, crochet and jewelry-making virgins - complete with step-by-step photos to save you from the embarrassment of asking that annoyingly perky coworker for help. Join us in the AntiCraft movement - where self-expression, no matter how socially unacceptable, is given a scalpel and room to operate. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Oddly- since I am a knitter- the crochet patterns are more appealing to me than the knitted ones- though I do love the Skylla cozy that is a knitted kraken! While I also love the long serpent stockings, adjusting them for my size is more than I feel inclined to try. There are a couple of hats with fun skull-and-crossbones motifs, though!
In crochet, the Briar Rose decorative scarf is really nifty. I also like the vulture-themed bag, and the 2-headed rat stuffie. And there's some kink stuff, for those inclined that way...
Fewer things stand out for me in the Sewing and Misc sections, though I'll mention that the former has a pretty "Wheel of the Year" skirt, and latter includes some basic chain mail as well as a gorgeous "Tree of Life" beaded shrine piece or wall hanging, as well as other beaded designs.
Sprinkled in are a number of recipes that look tasty, as well as various short articles on themes and motifs. There are basic instructions for the crafts included in the back.
Very fun, for crafters who like projects with a twist! ( )
