On Hold A Crafter’s Book of Angels Angel Theme Crafts Book Christmas Crafts

This listing is for a hardcover book, entitled A Crafter’s Book of Angels: A heavenly collection of 75 angelic projects. The book was written by Deborah Morgenthal. The copywrite and publishing date is 1995. This book itself is in excellent condition, however the dust cover has some wear to it. It has some light scratching to the dust jacket surface, some edge creases on the dust cover edges, and a few very light pressure marks on the surface of the dust cover. The book doesn't look like it was read or even opened. The back of the book cover says ‘Ranging from the traditional and romantic to the wacky and whimsical, a variety of angles graces clothes, jewelry, wreaths and swags, and decorations for the home. Make and elegant appliquéd angel pillow, an adorable cherub sweater for a baby, sweet paper-twist angel ornaments, whimsical cat angle pins, and golden cherub swag, and much more. Created by 49 talented designers, the projects use many different techniques and materials, including quilting, embroidery, polymer clay, salt dough, woodworking, papier-mâché, paper cutting, stained glass, batik, tin and wire, and florals and naturals. Whether you’re looking for your own winged guardian or simply adore anything angelic, this celebration of care, love, and hope is sure to delight you.’ The inside book flap says ‘Chose from 75 creative projects, each of which celebrates the magic of the heavenly creatures who are said to be watching over the planet. The 49 designers who contributed to this collection each bring an individual talent and a personal flair to the projects, resulting in a fabulous array of methods and styles. Whether you enjoy needlework, papercraft, floral arts, painting, sculpting, or some other craft, you’re sure to find an angel that calls out to you.’ Flipping through the book, I saw some cute ideas, such as paper angel ornaments, and paper twist angel ornaments, some gorgeous angel wing curtains, a beautiful stained glass piece and of course the exquisite hooked wall hanging pictured on the front of the book. There is also a winter Angel figurine in all white that is nice, and very serene looking. The baby sweater project is cute, and seems like it would be easy as it is adding an embroidered design to a bought baby sweater. Some of the projects seemed like they would be hard to make, and as if a high level of expertise would be needed, such as for the stained glass piece. Some of the projects looked kind of odd, with a very modern look to them and didn’t seem very attractive to me. I like the more traditional looking angels. The book has 160 pages, so it is a good sized book. This book would be good for a crafter who is interested in angel themed crafts. There are a lot of beautiful, high quality photos in the book. Please check my listings for some unusually nice craft books. Please email if you would like more photos.
