Glitzy, Simple, and Crafty,
By
This review is from: Bollywood Crafts: 20 Projects Inspired by Popular Indian Cinema (Paperback)
I should preface this review by saying that I'm all thumbs and so appreciate simplicity in designs, and my Bollywood knowledge is not what it used to be but that didn't stop me enjoying Bollywood Crafts. The book is a series of crafting recipes for giving ordinary home features a sparkly Bollywood style twist. The crafting itself is simple enough even for me but can serve as inspiration for creating new ideas. The chatty and informal style feels as though the author is talking and helping the reader through the book. The book is extremely colourful and engaging, even the pages themselves are attractive.The book also contains a personal snapshot of Bollywood cinema. Introducing each project with a recap of a famous Bollywood film and what it is about that film that inspires the concept. Adorned with pictures and factoids of Bollywood legends I don't think there's a doubt that anyone who appreciates the glitz and glamour of Bollywood will appreciate this book. For the interested maker of things, the list of recommended locations, retailers, and equipment included in the book is a real asset. Anyone who likes making stuff will surely enjoy this. I gave a copy to a crafting friend who adores the book. The book should make an excellent gift to those who like to make, especially those who like bright, sparkly ideas or have any affinity to Bollywood.

This review is from: Bollywood Crafts: 20 Projects Inspired by Popular Indian Cinema (Paperback)
This book is in part a examination of the last fifty years of Bombay cinema and part a DIY guide to customising your belongings.Buy this book and you will bring a touch of Indian glamour in to your home. It is hugely inspirational. So much so that the day after I bought it I decorated my bookshelf using Momtaz's techniques. The book is easy to follow and will appeal to all ages. I love the colourful style and I found the pictures nostalgic. Anyone in to film, particularly Bollywood, or crafts will fall in love with this simple yet stimulating book.
