DESCRIPTION:
Speaking to everyone from alternateens to hipster thirtysomethings with an irreverent retro-chic attitude, this book is for those looking to put an edge on the things that grandma used to make. Bazaar Bizarre offers smart, subversive inspiration unavailable from traditional crafting books and patterns, appealing not only to the nostalgia for folk expression of previous generations, but also to the popular DIY attitude of the young and stylish. The desire to stand out with quirky, handmade, one-of-a-kind fashion has created a huge new crowd of hip young crafters hungry for ideas. Readers will love Der Ananian’s sardonic commentary, "Craftoids," about the history of crafting, punk- rock crosswords, funky finger-food recipes, and musical play lists

Danielle G. said Finally! Something That Isn't Ugly Country Kitchen Style Patterns. I have always been into various crafts. Growing up, my grandmother was the one who taught me how to crochet, cross stitch, embroider, and sew. Unfortunately, at that time, all of the magazines and books that were out with patterns, totally were not my style. It wasn't until college when I saw books coming out with patterns I was into. This one my first anti-Martha Stewart craft book I ever bought. It had very easy to follow patterns in various crafts. It . "Super Fun!" according to Julie Jackson. I was so glad to discover my brother in cross stitch! Greg's work is hilarious, and he uses his quirky sense of humor well as narrator of this book. With clever comments on every page, he keeps you on your toes and takes you on a journey through the bizarre side of crafts. This book reads like you're hanging out with a campy friend who always makes you laugh, and who introduces you to all his fun friends. Bravo!. "Crafter's Journal Not Project Book" according to Sarah Crash. I had high hopes for this book but upon receiving it was very confused. It took me awhile to figure out where the stories about each crafter ended and where their particular craft project started. TO be honest I could care less about these weirdo crafters and how they discovered their love for fake dreadlocks. Also there were barely any crafts in this book and out of the eight there were really only two I would ever be interested in doing. Everyone knows
