Hi, Shelley. I'm excited about the craft books you're working on. I am particularly interested in books about preparing herbs and flowers for making essential oils, lotion and soap. I have a passion for making baskets too. I turn to these kinds of crafts as an outlet for creativity as well as a bonding time with my daughter. I'd like to learn how to make my own lip balm and hair conditioner and perhaps some milk soaps. If you find anything regarding making natural cosmetics and are inclined to scan it, I would put it to good use. <smile> I'm thankful for the books you've already scanned and am looking forward to trying some new ideas.

Hi you all.

I found a treasure trove of books on crafts here at Western.

I am submitting them.  Several, well o.k. the whole lot are failry old, but
honestly has art changed that much bbesides graphic design.

So far I have scanned

Basic Basketry
Crayon A medium for Expression.

I plan on scanning.

Making Jewlery
Weaving
Flower Pressing
Collage magic
Recyclopedia: Making stuff out of recycled materials
Crafts from Scraps
Gifts that Kids can make
Practical Basket Weaving
Complete Book of Baskets and bAsket weaving

Two on art and people with Disabilities

I also found a bunch of leather working and tooling, a bunch on crayon, and
one on art, color design and form, that I plan on grabbing.

Are there any other crafty topics that people would like to learn about?

Am willing to scan, that is of course if the library has them.

My home library has more up to date craft books and I will grab them. but
personally thought a lot of this stuff doesn't go out of "style".

The Crayon book is interesting particularly as we can feel and control
crayon without looking.

Will be seeing whatelse I can get on the topic.
