Hard to follow
2By habboushaA picture is worth a thousand words. This is even more so in a craft book where often words are hard to describe the intricacy of each step in the making process. Unfortunately, this book relies on words more than pictures. And when there are pictures to illustrate the steps, the images are more concerned with styling than with giving you a clear view of the crafting steps. The book contains a lot of information and is quite comprehensive. It is too bad that the author undercut the effort by not including clear images.
