PUSH paper :: book review

Can you love a book before even opening it? I love PUSH paper. The horizontal size, the specialty binding, the die cut open arrow, and the texture of the spine. Before turning a page you know you are about to experience something special .

PUSH paper is a gallery series book newly released from Lark Crafts. PUSH profiles 30 different international paper artists that are “push”ing the boundaries of working with paper. The book contains beautiful photographs, pared with a documented Q&A discussion with the juror: Jaime Zollars of Paper Forest.

My opinion: This is an inspirational book; worthy of mention, even more so of purchasing. 

Lark Crafts can be found at: http://www.larkcrafts.com/ 

PUSH paper is available for purchase through Amazon at the following link.

Sew the Perfect Bag - Book Review

What’s in a bag? Well it could be a purse, handbag, tote, backpack, satchel…you get the idea. Sew the Perfect Bag has step by step directions for twenty-five different bags. My favorite is the Reversible Purse designed by Ellen March. The diagonal line across the middle catches my eye and I think it would work for a variety of uses, not just a handbag, more like a tote.

The great things about this book are the easy to read supply lists, step by step directions with diagrams and the versatility of each pattern. Most of the bags in Sew the Perfect Bag can be made from a yard or less of fabric meaning you could use left over fabric or a few sample piece. In fact, you could recycle fabric from a clothing item for an eco twist. Easy to follow diagrams also allow you to alter the size of the project to tailor it to your own needs.

The introduction of the book states that once you see how easy it is to make a bag that doesn’t require a pattern, you’ll see how easy it is to adapt them to your own style and ultimately create your own patterns. What a great tool to learn how to take an idea, make it your own and expand upon it! 

You can purchase a copy directly from the publisher at this link.
