5.0 out of 5 stars What a treasure of a book, March 13, 2000
By 
Amy (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Embellishments A to Z : An Embellishment Idea Book (Spiral-bound)
I love this book, it gives ideas and instructions on how to do everything from applique to simple weaving. The pictures are clear and very helpful in illustrating the techniques. Projects are rated from easy to intermidiate to challenging, and there are supply lists so you can have everything you need. I found it very inspiring in my work and hope to find other book by the author!
