Product Description
Woodworks to Treasure by Carla Thompson (Crafts, Woodworking, Painting, 1995, tole painting, wood crafts, folk art, 90s crafts, Carla Thompson)
This is a folk art craft booklet from Grace Publications titled "Woodworks to Treasure." It contains patterns and instructions by designer Carla Thompson for creating various small, painted wooden decor items.
Review:
A typical and charming example of a 1990s decorative painting pattern book. The projects are simple, rustic, and very representative of the "country craft" aesthetic that was popular at craft fairs and in homes during that decade.
Author summary:
Grace Publications was a small publisher that, like many others, produced pattern books for the booming decorative and tole painting market of the 1980s and 90s. Carla Thompson is a designer who created patterns in this popular country/folk art style.
The collectible value is very low. This is a niche pattern booklet from a small publisher catering to the 1990s tole painting craze. It has no rarity and its value is purely for the patterns and its nostalgic appeal.
