Donna and Kathy are at it again. This dynamic duo is hard to bead for just plain fun and giggles.

These two can teach anybody almost anything! Warped Women and Material Men is another one of their easy to read, easy to understand, easy to do, books. The complete instructions and clear drawings and diagrams make your project a definite success story.

I’m not sure what I liked best about this book. I’ve made two Warped Women and can now do them without following the directions in the book. I just love reading it through! The stories about the figures and the poems are such a hoot!

Donna and Kathy make their own creative rules and encourage you to make your own too. Then of course, you’re supposed to break them. They have several exercisers in the book to get people thinking, dreaming and creating in all aspects of their lives.

When you finish this book and one of the several projects in it, you become one of the warped multitude that dances to a different beat. Your are encouraged to strut your stuff and share it with others.

By the way, on page two don’t miss the list of the "Warped Crew" that made this book possible.

This book will be on my gift list to share with all of my warped friends. Did you know that my license plate is "Warped"? Could I do anything but love this book? I don’t think so!

Reviewed by Tre, truly a warped woman!


A note from the Beadwrangler,

Warped Women and Material Men is an excellent book for organizations; you could each make a figure and stick your name to it in beads or a ribbon between the hands as a name card. The projects takes very little time and when you are wearing one, people will comment and want one for themselves. I consider this book a doll book also and you can make a whole family of warped dolls! What fun!
