When the earliest settlers came to
the new land, they brought with them
some of their favorite crafts. As the
settlers adapted to their new home, the
craft techniques began to take on a new
form. And just as language, art, and
literature became truly American, so
did the crafts--right up to and through
the Civil War era.
Roberta Raffaelli, a well-known ex-
pert in the field of crafts, has spent many
years adapting these crafts to modern
techniques and materials. In Early
American Crafts, seven crafts are taught
in step-by-step fashion, with explanatory
diagrams, patterns, and photographs. In-
troductory sections explaining the ori-
gins and history of each craft, as well as a
section devoted to a discussion of neces-
sary materials and tools, accompany
each chapter. After reading the instruc-
tions, you will be ready to begin the proj-

list of materials so that you will be able to
assemble your equipment before starting
the project. The project instructions
are broken down into clear, concise
steps with accompanying photographs.
Many of the photographs actually show
the author s hands performing the task,
thus making each direction crystal clear.
Shadow box displays, mobiles, trays,
boxes, lamp bases, pictures for framing,
wreaths, and Christmas decorations are
just some of the many types of creations
that can be easily and quickly made by
following the simple instructions.
The seven crafts fall into three cate-

and nature crafts. The paper crafts in-
