Book SynopsisOver eighty inventive and imaginative shapes and figures to create with finger strings.Trade Review'The cat's cradle craze keeps popping up and this is the whole works. We start with a simple flag across our fingers and end up with wearable art. It can be an individual or a group activity - see the Five Person Star! There are even rhymes and stories to tell as you illustrate them in string. There are some scholarly notes which show how string games are part of many different cultures. An excellent 'cross-generational' book.'-- Carousel Christmas Guide to Children's Books 2008'Children today sometimes miss out on traditional pursuits so it is always good to find a book that offers something a little different. This project book, complete with colourful string, is a great resource giving readers the chance to play games, make pictures and act out stories - all using string. Diagrams for over 80 activities are fairly easy to follow, even for an instruction phobic parent!'-- The Green Parent, Oct/Nov 2008'Do you remember playing Cat's Cradle as a child? A new book - Finger Strings by Michael Taylor - offers step by step instructions for finger string games and comes with two strings. Why not relearn your skills and teach them to your children or grandchildren - or use them as an ice-breaker at a party?'-- Woman Alive, October 2008'These are very clearly described and pictured, and there are examples of simple figures and some quite complicated. Some can be used in the telling of a story and others have a poem accompanying them; there is much potential for use across a wide range from playgroup to adult, and indeed some shapes have been invented by children themselves. The sense of achievement when the desired result is reached is very satisfying! ...

The 16 projects are divided into 4 chapters: Macramé on the wall, Macramé to hang, Macramé for indoors & outdoors, and Macramé to decorate. The projects range from reworked classics such as the wall hanging and the plant hanger, which have been given a fresh, Insta-ready twist, to a wreath, bunting, hanging bedside table, mirror hanger, rug and tassels. Each project clearly explains which knots to use, the difficulty level, how long the project will take, plus photographs of the steps are provided as necessary. The projects are easy to follow, genuinely desirable and, best of all, really simple to make!Trade ReviewThe book is well illustrated with easy to follow diagrams. There are 16 projects for varying proficiencies. The advanced rug making one I particularly liked but as a beginner I would try the curtain tieback and the tassel first. Items are given an approximate time it would take to make ranging from 1 hour to 8 hours and I found this useful to know. There is an interesting article on natural dyeing too which may be of interest for people wanting a different effect. A very enjoyable book and one I will look forward to using in the future. -- Suan Watts * Amazon *This is a book to appeal to anyone looking to try macramé. At the beginning there is a section looking at tools, yarns and knots required to create the projects. These are illustrated using photos, not diagrams, and are much easier to follow. The author encourages the use of recycled and natural materials and there is even a section on creating your own simple dyes to add an individual touch to your work. Advice is offered for caring for your body as you craft. Each project is graded from beginner to advanced. In addition to a comprehensive list of materials and tools required, there is an estimate of time needed to complete the project and a list of the knots used, useful if some may be new and require practice first. The instructions alongside are set out in short steps with photographs of completed sections for comparison. The use of photographs throughout and clear steps makes this a great book for the beginner whilst more experienced crafters can enjoy the challenge of using more found natural materials and creating dyes for individuality. -- Ann Williams * Amazon *I really liked all the projects but the lampshade is my absolute favourite. I am awaiting delivery of some material to make one for my garden room. I did a little Macrame in the 70’s so I found the book easy to understand and would recommend a plant hanger to a beginner. I’ve never done any dying but am certainly going to give it a go and dip dye my lampshade when I have made it -- Sue Gaunt * Amazon *This is such a delightful book, there are a number of inspiring projects, we particularly like the Macramé Wall Hangings which can be used in so many creative ways. There are also instructions on how to make useful plant hangers, macramé table runners, lampshades, curtain tiebacks and even a stunning rug. If you have always wanted to learn Macramé, this is a delightful place to start.
