Craft: Transforming Traditional Crafts, Volume 6
CRAFT is the first project-based magazine dedicated to the
renaissance happening within the world of crafts.
Celebrating the DIY spirit, CRAFT's goal is to unite,
inspire, inform and entertain a growing community of highly
imaginative people who are transforming traditional art and
crafts with unconventional, unexpected, and
even renegade
techniques, materials and tools.
The theme for CRAFT 06 is Play! Get ready to have a famously
good time with fun, detailed DIY projects including making
your own mix-and-match monster plush, custom coloring book,
LED hula hoop, solar jewelry, and LP record bowls.
