Review by Twinsie Dee
i bought this book and this is my honest review
When crafting meet murder it had me wondering. fifteen short stories about different crafting technique, and a project to go with each story, but they do come with a twist. learn about paper making, gourd art, mosaics, candle making and one with adding scents, you’ll find a project with a fancy name like okesa, and making potpourri, wreaths, a memory collage and going back to summer camp with macaroni art. this was a different read for me but not terrible some stories make you chuckle.
In my life BG (Before Gourds)I wrote seven mystery novels and edited six anthologies as Marilyn Wallace. I’ve been a high school English teacher, a potter, a pastry chef, and a computer programmer, and now those experiences are fair game for my fiction.
After living in upstate NY and in northern CA, my husband and I have returned to our roots in Brooklyn, NY, where our two grown sons also live.
