Reviews
This serviceable craft guide, with alphabetical arrangement, emphasizes natural materials (apples, corn husks, gourds, and twigs), features projects spanning varied levels of expertise (baskets, garlands, and potpourri), and provides instruction on assorted techniques (methods for drying herbs and flowers, preparing gourds, and working with floral supplies). Beginners will find an agreeable selection of simply-made items, while the more difficult projects will appeal to the accomplished handicrafter. Step-by-step instructions, black-and-white line drawings, and color photographs illustrate traditional designs for decorative hangings, containers, and tabletop arrangements. Alice Joyce
