Detailing the demise of the rustic

From a beautifully crafted introduction, painstakingly researched and exquisitely presented, Hanan produces her opus.

Detailing the demise of the rustic, and defending it from it's dictionary definition, she goes on to passionately explore every facet of our lifestyles and attempts to introduce the possiblity of natural fibers, crafts and textures.

Unfortunately for the coffee table peruser, this takes place mostly in text, with a few gorgeously photographed pictures illustrating her points & chapters.

The book contains 10 projects for crafting your own rustic accessories, such as patchowrk cushions, hammock, scented candles, soap and so on. Nothing earth shattering but a good touch.

Ergo, do not buy the book for the pictures, there aren't enough for that purpose, but if you are interested in reading a well researched & thought out book, go for it~
