Kawaii crafting~!

Now that I have finished with University, I have much more time on my hands for crafts and hobbies. Recently I have been doing some research into the uber-kawaii world of felt and polymer/paper clay crafting! There is seriously so much cuteness in the world of crafting that it's diabetes inducing.   So, here are some of the more helpful books that I have found. I hope they help any of you aspiring crafters out! XD

 "My Favorite Felt Sweets" is a great book with great instructions, plenty of pictures, and full-size patterns! XD  The projects in here would be great for long, lasting kids toys (if the kids are gentle, these could last years....as opposed to the 2 -3 week life-span of most plastic toys...).

"The Polymer Clay Cookbook" is AMAZING~! It teaches many basic techniques such as shading and using Liquid Sculpey to achieve icing effects. It also has step-by-step images of the projects~!!! So, this is a great tool for those just getting into either polymer clay or faux food creation!

"Felt Friends from Japan" features many retro-inspired projects that are just a cute as they are kitsch.The instructions are very good, and most projects are pretty basic with a couple more advanced ones. There are quite a few projects featured in this book. So, you should be able to find something you really enjoy!
