Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Think Cake Wrecks for crafts. Just because Martha can make something doesn't mean you can make anything close to what she makes. But that doesn't stop the craft world from trying! The ones that do and fail share the results with Heather Mann, a veteran of the online craft scene, and she puts them up for the world to see on CRAFTFAIL.com. This illustrated book highlights the best of the worst, with before-and-afters, inspiration-and-fails, and a series of epic fails (those projects that look so good, they are attempted again and again and again)--all submitted by the failers themselves and their very supportive community, to the tune of, "OMG I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING OUT LOUD...MY DOGS ARE BARKING AT ME AND MY HUSBAND JUST TOLD ME TO STOP BECAUSE I AM SCARING THE KIDS!!! Thank you, thank you , thank you."
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Celebrates the creative process, but from the other side. This is the stuff that gets the A for Effort and LOL for outcome. But once the laughter dies down, it also inspires a warm feel-good respect for crafters who aren't afraid to fail. After all, even if there's not a mortal alive except Martha who can make a waxed heart worthy of hanging in your window to catch the sun, why shouldn't many try?"--Amazon.com.
