Publisher's Synopsis
If you are one of those intellectually curious people who like to find out more about anything that might interest you, and if you have been thinking about taking up a craft that would allow you to imagine and create and build something that no one else has, you quite possibly will find real food for thought in this book. If you are already a crafter, but you feel you might want to explore other crafts to see what they might offer, the crafts in this book will give you a lot to think about. The book introduces and describes 50 different crafts, and with each craft description are several supporting YouTube.com videos showing real crafters who further explain the craft. The 148 videos, all specifically linked to the 50 crafts, greatly enhance our understanding of each craft. With simple directions on how to access them, the videos are easy to find and play from either the paperback or any Kindle reader or software. You will find crafts like making Balloon Animals, building Stained Glass windows, using a hand-cranked Knitting Machine, building Model Rockets, (a favorite project with high school STEM students), hand-thrown and air-dried Pottery which eliminates the expense of a potter's wheel and kiln, building a Birchbark Canoe, the secrets of Needle Felting, applying your artistic talents in an Adult Coloring Book, the Kindness Rocks Project, exploring Cake Decorating, PLUS 40 more crafts! We have chosen the very best YouTube.com videos to enrich your experience. We have taken the work out of it so you will watch videos that show basic setups, basic steps, and the videos are chosen for their excellent presentations overall. If you want to experience a fully guided tour of crafts and the videos that bring them to life, "Engage In Craft Art" will take you there.
