 Rating:  - Not what i hopedI thought this was an instruction book - it's a "how I created great art" book - I was very disappointed Rating:  - I'll never look at a rusty nail the same way againFor those of you creating found art for the first time and those who have been creating for years ... this is the book for you.

Then, and only then, will you understand how to create a piece of ART and not just CRAFT an item. As for the safety of using ... Read More |
