America's most delightfully unconventional hostess and the
bestselling author of I Like You delivers a new book
that will forever change the world of crafting. According to
Amy Sedaris, it's often been said that ugly people craft and
attractive people have sex. In her new book, SIMPLE TIMES,
she sets the record straight. Demonstrating that crafting is
one of life's more pleasurable and constructive leisure
activities, Sedaris shows that anyone with a couple of hours
to kill and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite
society of crafters.
You will discover how
to make popular crafts, such as: crab-claw roach clips,
tinfoil balls, and crepe-paper moccasins, and learn how to:
get inspired (Spend time at a Renaissance Fair; Buy fruit,
let it get old, and see
what shapes it turns into);
remember which kind of glue to use with which material
(Tacky with Furry, Gummy with Gritty, Paste with Prickly,
and always Gloppy with Sandy); create your own craft
room and avoid the most common crafting accidents (sawdust
fires, feather asphyxia, pine cone lodged in throat); and
cook your own edible crafts, from a Crafty Candle Salad to
Sugar Skulls, and many more recipes.
PLUS
whole chapters full of more crafting ideas (Pompom
Ringworms! Seashell Toilet Seat Covers!) that will inspire
you to create your own hastily constructed obscure d'arts;
and much, much more!
