Book Reviews of Kokoro no Te: Handmade Treasures from the Heart
Book Review: time consuming but lovely
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a book full to the brim of beautiful things, few of which would be particularly practical or useful in everyday life. The projects are for people that sew for the joy of it, delight in gorgeous colourful fabrics and threads, and who are happy to spend a long time crafting small, exceptionally well-finished pieces. The finished products are for anyone that loves to enjoy luxurious one-of-a-kind things made especially for them, whether they have function or not. The projects would not look good speedily finished or rushed. I cannot imagine any of the intricate and ornamented purses withstanding ordinary use (their parts would catch on everything else in a handbag or pocket), but they would make very nice pomanders etc. The brooches and embellishments are more practical. The toys, ornaments and sewing accessories would make the best gifts. However, it may be irrelevant to assess the 'treasures' themselves: I wonder if anyone would actually have the courage to use anything as detailed and lovely as these. I suspect that the 'treasures' would be jealously guarded and stashed away to be enjoyed by the recipients alone. I'm not sure if I will make many, or any, of the pieces but I will certainly contemplate them from time to time and it is a very nice book to browse through.
