review 1: This amazing collection of creative ways to reuse old stuff was a real kick to my creative impulses. The author arranges the creations in groups by material or theme, such as "Paper, Collage & Assemblage" and "Geek Craft & Man Craft," though there are some artists who end up in each category for one reason or another. The arrangements on the pages are very clever and works of art in themselves, sometimes for color, sometimes for shapes. Of course, there are the crazy things like a tin foil dress and spiky jewelry that look like they would only torture the wearer, but the ability of finding beauty in discarded materials is what shines through.
review 2: Plenty of ideas as described in the title (though not exactly 1000 since there are similar items that are d... moreuplicates). While the projects certainly involved DIY for the maker, don't expect this to be a DIY book with instructions or material listings. This is purely a "look book" of sorts for inspiration. Good for people who might like the look at DIY, but not necessarily interested in doing it themselves (each photo does list the maker, and their company), or for those already who have some DIY skills in need of a small spark to kickstart a project. less
