review 1: I borrowed this from the library. I added it to my "to purchase" list on Goodreads when I saw all the reviews. I really must ask: are you blind?? Or just wildly uncreative? These projects are amazing. Like, ah-may-zing. There are a few that aren't my personal style, but they are still well-thought out. I mean, the hand stitched curtains, all of the dinnerware (especially the comic book plates), the aluminum sconce, the butterflies under glass, the decorative door knobs, the tea set, the pillows...I could keep going, but really, I'll tell you this book is for you if you like to think outside the box, and don't want your house to look like every other McMansion on the block. Can't wait to get my hands on the big-ass book of crafts.
review 2: Okay, I saw in this b
... moreook what a lot of people said about the author's "big ass book of crafts." A lot of the projects just look cheesy or tacky or both. I would not want most of them in my home. The only thing that caught my eye is the hand-stitched curtain panel on page 61, and I though I might actually make something similar, and I thank him for the inspiration, I will do it differently and use different materials. (Embroidery with regular yarn? Really?) Some projects are fine, just not my tastes, but others are really out there. less

the thing that even boggles me is that the staged photos for the book show sloppy technique.

Like techniques but not so much how he implements them.
