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
