NOTE: ALL COVER IMAGES THIS PAGE ARE PROPERTY OF
PUBLISHER, but are scanned from my private collection.

SUMMARY: There are quite a few candle craft articles in this run of issues - which was my original impetus for searching them out. But there are also lots and lots of great articles on a wide variety of crafts. They went to experts in their craft and solicited the articles, as well as craft supply manufacturers. So while some of the articles are barely disguised ads for supplies manufacturers were hoping to sell, there's still a lot of good information between these covers.

The stand-out articles for me were Lorraine Wood's series titled "Re-Creating History", Charlene Davis Roth's stuffed toys, and a lot of the later miniatures articles.

I'm still missing quite a few issues from this run. I would appreciate some help filling it in. Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
