This review is from: Fantasy (Crafter's Design Library) (Paperback)
This book is gorgeous! Looking through the book for the first time, you're met with stunning, though seemingly simple, designs and motifs...and the ideas start to flood your head! Once you open the book, you can't wait to start crafting and painting and creating. The designs are very easy to copy and transfer, and techniques are included as well. It's amazing how these simple black-and-white pictures can get you started. I have created suncatchers, candles, candle holders, jars...decorated storage containers and want to decorate furniture, and have been inspired to create so much more. It's so simple, yet so beautiful. =) I would recommend this book to anyone. Psst...and as an added bonus, there are some very Pagan-friendly designs as well!

This is a great craft designs book especially if you are a Pagan/Wiccan. I've got plans to use the patterns for embroidery art on altar clothes and tarot pouches. I'm also thinking of making a collection of Wiccan greeting cards with the help of these images. The book even gives ideas for using the images and has a how-to section which I find very useful and a good resource.
