Photocraft is a bit more demanding than many craft books; however, if you read the introduction and the section called "Photocraft 101," you'll be ready to be creative with those piles of photographs you've been saving. There seems to be a lot of material to digest before you get to the creative part, but the images and the ideas are so winning and delightful that you'll want to do it. From simple Slide-Mount Pins, Accordion Frames, and Baby Bibs (!), to Hand-Colored Photographs, Silk Scarves, Paintings with Photo Insets and Vellum Lampshades, there is a project that appeals to almost anyone. The authors say they've set "a very high standard for quality, so beginners and intermediates have something to aspire to and experienced crafters and digital artists can learn something, too." Photocraft would be a fine accompaniment to all the digital cameras that will be given this holiday.--Marilyn Dahl
