Enchanting Woodland Birdhouses
Macy, owner of Lucinda & Co., which makes over 3000 bird, toad, gnome, and fairy homes each year, shows readers how to create a variety of fanciful handcrafted homes. Created from natural materials, these houses are primarily decorative, although some may be used by birds or toads. (Because the houses aren't sized for specific bird species, serious bird enthusiasts may want to look elsewhere.) Macy's incredibly cute and original designs will appeal to both adults and children (including this reviewer's eight-year-old, Olivia). Geared toward beginners, this title will prove popular with crafters; another good choice is Thomas Stender's Architectural Birdhouses: 15 Famous Buildings To Make for Your Feathered Friends (LJ 9/1/01).
