flickr find: the illustrated encyclopedia of crafts

goldenpeacock (amy) made an unbelievably lucky score, some of which she’s sharing on flickr. she says:

I obtained this set of 1970s encyclopedias from East Village Books when I discovered they were going to throw them away.

what amazes me is how we’ve somewhat forgotten that diy wasn’t born yesterday.

go marvel at the beauty (silverware jewelry, flower bed spread) and pain (table runner made of dried beans, john wayne gacy make up) of the 1970s crafty scene. clicky.
