2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but misleading, March 16, 2006
By 
Spiralshannon (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Things: A Book of Days for the Creative Spirit (Hardcover)
I bought this after looking at the description and reviews on the website, but had no clue that it is essentially a date book with pictures of textile arts and very short passages (generally 2-4 lines) about making things scattered throughout. I was expecting something more along the lines of essays, or longer daily chunks - a book rather than a non-year-specific calendar. I have no need for a date book, so this will be going back to amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great X-Mas Gifts, November 14, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Making Things: A Book of Days for the Creative Spirit (Hardcover)
Women I know are creative in all sorts of ways. This book is for all of them. And it's just in time for Christmas, so I had to buy about 15 of them.

Two of my favorite quotes found therein: "Creativity is using the resources you best understand to make something positive happen. This isn't just about the arts. It's about business, medicine, leadership, housekeeping, world politics, or a Sunday potluck dinner." And, "The opposite of war is not peace. It is making things." Bravo Janet. When does the 2006 version come out?

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Fuel!, April 19, 2005
This review is from: Making Things: A Book of Days for the Creative Spirit (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anyone looking for creative inspiration. This should not be confused with a craft how-to book. Textile arts in this case support the bigger emphasis on the importance of "making things"... any "things!"
