Written by two authors expert in making and teaching crafts to students of all ages and abilities, instructions are easy to follow and include practical yet creative ideas to fix common mistakes. The projects in the book arise from a genuine love of the natural world and animals, whether they be family pets or wild creatures whose widespread ill-treatment has brought them into the limelight.
