Books: Crafts: Short Takes

These are some of the books in the Tacky Living library. We've provided links to purchase them at Amazon, but some of these books may no longer be in print. If they aren't available at Amazon, you may have better luck at your local used bookstore or Powell's.

 

Judaikitsch
Jennifer Traig and Victoria Traig

Judging by the crafts and recipes in this book, the authors have permanently planted their tongues in their cheeks. Lighthearted projects include the Celebrity Star of David Quilt, a Borscht Belt, and a Neil Tzedaka Box. Those handy with a needle and thread will enjoy making the pet and Carmen Miranda yarmulkes.

101 Super Uses for Tampon Applicators
Barbara Meyer, Lori Katz

Although it doesn't seem serious about the use of applicators as a craft item, this light, diverting novelty book may give you ideas for projects of your own. The book's clever graphic design includes a cover which mimics a tampon box and a string bookmark reminiscent of the strings found on tampons. Inside illustrations are rendered as rough sketches which are nevertheless high on concept.
