Title: The Family Creative Workshop, Vol. 14: Quilling to Rope Knotting
Edited by: Steven Schepp
Format/Publication Date: HC:1976
Publisher: Plenary Publications International, Inc., NY
Page Count: 122
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 11" x 9"
ISBN: 0884590186(And for the entire set:0884590216)

SUMMARY- I had originally bought volume 19(for the tatting chapter) but actually ended up spending more time looking at all the other chapters than I did the tatting - which made me decide I had to have the complete set. These are really quite cool. In the quilling section you get a solid tutorial, a look at an antique candle sconce employing quilling from 1725(!) and a gorgeous selection of Christmas tree ornaments, butterflies, decorated eggs, and a 3-D Bird of Paradise. If I was on the fence before, I certainly am not now. I'm dying to try this displine out!



I'm so taken with this series, I tracked down a complete set so that I could include a catalog of them with this review. The entire set is 23 volumes, with a separate Index. All 24 books are hardbound and have very dramatic samples of 23 of the crafts demonstrated in the books. I usually make the catalog pics smaller than the review picture, but I decided to go with the larger picture for this catalog.

Volume 1: Acrylics to Batik
Page Count: 128
Notes: I'm psyched that Dr. Isaac Asimov contributed to this series. His nonfiction writing is as entertaining and thought-provoking as his fiction. I actively look for the science texts he wrote as the most engrossing way to learn about any subject he cared enough to write about. Yes, I'm terribly geeky - but I'm not wrong. Dr. Asimov was a brilliant writer who could have made shopping lists fascinating. We will never have his like again.
