This was my second time reading her book, which is perhaps the best one on creating neat concrete items. It has tons of great photography of her inspiring items. Would love to see her crafts in person one day.

Super easy to peruse through and follow. Hester gives clear and concise directions when working with concrete and projects are super fun.

[Rebecca]

So, almost all of the projects looked very unprofessional. There was a bit of good info in the how to section, but really it didn't even give a lot of specifics there.

Helppoja, yksinkertaisia ohjeita aloittelijalle.

I like the idea behind the book, and if I was someone else I might try a couple, but it isn't likely. Instructions appear well-written.
