Each project also features two other versions with the same binding geared to those with more or less experience.160; The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look.160; For the quilter"s book, for example, vintage quilt pieces become the covers so all that"s needing in the binding.160; Or if you"re interested in wool felting use an old sweater.160; This offers great opportunities for upcycling. The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft - the master art quilter, for example.160; For this version, an expert guest artist has created the cover and the author has created the binding.160; This offers yet another creative opportunity - the collaborative project.160; Since crafters often get involved with round-robins and other shared endeavors, this will show them yet another way to combine their skills. No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does.160; Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.
