Alchemy Arts Recycling is Chic - Ethical Fashion & Crafts Projects Book - New!

Alchemy Arts Recycling is Chic - Ethical Fashion Crafts Projects Book - New! By Kate MacKay and Di Jennings Lots of photos, many in color, as well as illustrations. "Alchemy Arts is a community-based arts project in Edinburgh that collects scrap from businesses and households and uses it to create artworks, workshops, and parades in the city. This book takes their philosophy one stage further and offers projects in fashion, home design, and crafts for individuals to make or adapt themselves. Includes ingenious uses for packs of old playing cards (a top hat for fancy dress), old ties stitched into dresses, and many more ideas and suggestions. With the inclusion of American crafters' projects as well as those from the United Kingdom, this is likely to be a popular addition to the growing collection of books available for crafters." ‎Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd (February 1, 2010) Language ‎English Paperback ‎256 pages ISBN-10 ‎0714532002 ISBN-13 ‎978-0714532004 Item Weight ‎1.3 pounds Dimensions ‎6 x 0.5 x 9 inches Sustainable fashion, recycling projects, crafts, crafting, arts, ecological, DIY
