Editorials
Library Journal
The recent popularity of craft items for outdoor use has been a stimulus for manufacturers of materials such as paints to produce new lines of weather-hardy materials. The painted and embellished flowerpots and planters by several artists in Baskett's collection of projects use outdoor paints and are cheerful additions to porch or patio. Browning (Making Glorious Gifts from Your Garden) is a master of plant-related crafts. Here she groups her projects under three themes: the bountiful garden, Old World Tuscany, and French botanicals. They include decorated pots, a painted floor cloth, and a drying rack for lavender. Both books are good selections for public library craft or garden collections.
