4.0 out of 5 stars Great for all ages; could use some reorganization, April 6 2004

By	Melissa "allcreatures4" (USA) - See all my reviews

I received this book for my birthday, and one of the first things that struck me was the universality of the projects. I immediately found myself showing others the book! There are projects specifically for children, and a child I know who usually rushes through projects wanted to make more and more and more "little people"...she just couldn't get enough, and my almost-60 mom has become obsessed with looking for "silk" flowers for fairy projects! For anyone interested in miniatures, the book is excellent. The dolls do seem a bit fragile, but I think the ones wrapped in embroidery thread could be "reinforced" with glue if meant for children.

The bad news about the book is its disorganization. The author admits she has a hard time putting concepts into directions for others, and this is noticeable within the book. There is a lot of page turning which must take place, and sometimes you will forget where you read certain instructions and where you must turn to get them. In making one project (I'll randomly choose a 3 1/2" fairy), you must find instructions on pages 29-30, 25, 34, and 36. Not necessarily in that order, and often needing to turn to these pages more than once! There is a lot of flipping around involved, which can be frustrating when the instructions aren't all in one spot and you have your hands full of craft materials that you're afraid to set down lest the embroidery thread unravel or the glue come unfixed.

Also, the instructions about how to do certain stitches (basically one illustration each, with no accompanying text) are confusing and really not helpful. In other places there is also not enough textual instruction on how to connect certain things; the jester's hat and clothing (two pieces of felt, without instructions on how to connect them) is one that comes to mind offhand.

I'd give it five stars if not for the disorganization and lack of instructions, but I think most people would find these both frustrating. Nevertheless, no one should pass this book up just because of these problems. Just go into it knowing they are things you might encounter. Once you figure out how to do the projects you won't need to flip around for instructions, and can probably overlook the author's instruction oversights and disorganization. After all, most of us artists/crafters can identify with that!

It's definitely a great book, and loads of fun. After already completing three projects, I nevertheless can't wait to try many more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., Jan 17 2004

By A Customer

Given Sally Mavor's fame as a 3-D storyboard artist, this one is a disappointment. There's nothing in it on making the type of wood and fabric storyboards seen in books she illustrates. Just endless tiny fairies which, basically, all look alike. Cute, but without the lush outdoor backgrounds against which they were photographed, they're uninspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Arts and Crafts Book, April 9 2003

By	"amy_secrest" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This book is bursting with detailed photos of projects that are sure to inspire the creation of your own wee folk dolls and crafts. Mavor's clear instructions show you how to create blossom fairies, wee folk village themed dolls, and other needlecraft projects. The best part is you don't have to be an expert seamstress to create these little treasures, and a wee folk doll can be completed in just a few hours. If you love arts and crafts this book will awake a new creative outlet.
