SUMMARY- I had bought this book without really looking at it first. If I had, I know I wouldn't have bought it. I am a fussy crafter who thinks end products - no matter what chaos is left as an aftermath in their environment- should look neat and as though I took some care in the making. All the projects here look thrown together in a hurry - cuts are ragged and lopsided, tape isn't always smooth, nothing is even. There might be some good ideas here, but the presentation completely threw me. I know there is a craft philosophy that it doesn't matter what the examples look like - it's the process that matters. I so believe that, up to a point. If you're going to teach a class, sell your work, or write a book about your favorite craft, I want that goal post standing proud in front of me, not some hazy distance behind me. In other words, if you want to sell me a book? You had better be able to demonstrate you have something to teach me. Droll quips, hand waving, and crappy examples isn't going to impress me.
